Emo

So what if I'm emo?
So what if I cry?
I'm not THAT emotional,
I don't want to die.
So what if I dress in a different style?
There's no need to scream and run for a mile.
I don’t like to cut and abuse my arm.
I’m not depressed,
so why cause myself harm?
Could it be that I’m just like you?
That I can smile, giggle, and laugh along too?
Could it be that I’m happy with myself?
It's just that I'm not some pretty doll on the shelf.
Could it be that the only reason I dye my hair black,
Is because I don’t want to be some Barbie in a bimbo girl pack?
These are the reasons, and I'll tell you why,
That I don't look in the mirror and start to cry.
I know I’m not perfect,
I'm sure you’ll agree.
But I’m so very positive,
as positive as can be,
that I’m not like you,
Oh, don't make me laugh!
I don’t spend hours on my make-up mask.
I'm totally self-confident,
I'll smile for all to see.
Because the great thing about being emo,
is that I’m happy, with just being me.
