A New Woman
Like a genie
Everyone keeps trying to get inside my lamp
They don't rub me, but they always try to rub me up
They want to know everything about me
They say i am mean for keeping parts of my life private
I am an open book, but only to people i can trust
Only to people who will not tell my secrets
Those people do not disobey me or break promises or take advantage
I am so lucky to have them in my life
I am sick of being treated like a genie
They rub me up the wrong way, they try to manipulate me into destroying everyone thats good to me
I don't and won't listen to them or give in
They still try yet i will not give up whats important to me
I love the people i love and i know who loves me and who doesn't
I may have grown up insecure and very naive indeed but i am not a bad judge of character i do make mistakes
Its only because i seem to believe alot of people deserve a chance
I was bullied and it made me horrible for a while and i was manipulated, but then for once i was out of that persons shadow and i changed, but everyone was too stupid to notice
They noticed now that they should have tried being nicer to me and that i wasn't all that bad
People envy what i achieve and set out to do
They envy everything i try
They say things about me that aren't even true because those people don't really know me
They just want a few wishes
They want to put me down so they feel better
Yet i can show them how tough i am and that i am not frightened of them, but i just ignore them
I changed myself for the better of myself it made me look better and feel better
Yet people who cannot do the same for themselves now feel inferior to me
I felt inferior because i was younger and wished i had the confidence to not hide inside like a genie
They don't rub me, but they always try to rub me up
They want to know everything about me
They say i am mean for keeping parts of my life private
I am an open book, but only to people i can trust
Only to people who will not tell my secrets
Those people do not disobey me or break promises or take advantage
I am so lucky to have them in my life
I am sick of being treated like a genie
They rub me up the wrong way, they try to manipulate me into destroying everyone thats good to me
I don't and won't listen to them or give in
They still try yet i will not give up whats important to me
I love the people i love and i know who loves me and who doesn't
I may have grown up insecure and very naive indeed but i am not a bad judge of character i do make mistakes
Its only because i seem to believe alot of people deserve a chance
I was bullied and it made me horrible for a while and i was manipulated, but then for once i was out of that persons shadow and i changed, but everyone was too stupid to notice
