Am I Supposed to Cry?

You Said You Don't Like Me.

You don't like what I eat,

Or,

My weight.

You hate my attitude,

Thank you very much,

I'd say it creates my solitude!

You hate my hair,

But I think it gives me flair;

Don't like my skirt?

Why should I care?

You hate the way I flirt,

Excuse me?

I don't need your say,

You don't like my jokes,

I'm glad they give you a scare!

You said I get over-excited,

And that,

My life is too dramatic,

You can't stand the way I walk,

or,

Talk;

But hey, weirdo!

At me, Everybody stares.

You said you don't like me,

Am I supposed to cry?

At least I love being me,

And for that;

I don't need your why.
