One cup of bleach you made me drink to alter my speech
It burned holes through my soul
Stripped away all of my truth
And exposed a disfigured me
I speak what you tell me to say
I think what you want me to know
I walk in the direction you create
You have renamed my spirit
You've given her a name that I can not pronouce
She is foreign
And I don't know how to control her
She won't listen or she just can't hear me
Mirrors pass and I see not my reflection
But rather something unknown that seems to just linger
Unrecognizable I am, unnoticed I stay
No longer can I attract their eyes...I've tried
But my beauty has been stolen
I no longer breathe the same
Barriers of ignorance blocked my natural sense of direction
Misguided and now lost
I am alone walking backwards in an unfamiliar world...
