On Our Own

You see,
The only thing I want
is to fit into this society.
I don’t feel like I fit in.
I don’t look
like the other girls
I don’t look like anybody
in this whole world
I’m just alone here
on my own

You see,
If you want to feel like you fit in
You have to remember
That you don’t.
Every girl is different
And you are beautiful all
on your own
