• My momma said I was pretty.
    Why doesn’t she see?
    I’m afraid to be me.

    My papa said don’t be afraid.
    Why doesn’t does his voice fade?
    I hide behind gray.

    My teachers said don’t let them win.
    Why this is a sin?
    I hold myself in.

    My brother told me I was not there.
    Why wasn’t I there?
    Why wasn’t I there!
    Why wasn’t I there!!

    So someone tell me what I got lose!
    Someone make me pay all of my dues!
    I won’t die inside like I used to do

    Why wasn’t I there.
    Why wasn’t I there…
    Why don’t I love myself?
