What I show you is not what I am.

What I appear to be, is not my truthful identity.

I am not someone to replace.

I am not just a pretty face.

I am not my hair.

I'm not someone who needs to be repaired.

I may be broken,

but I'm not a token

for you to use whenever you get bored.

I don't need your pity

or to be told I'm pretty

I am not my fancy clothes.

I am not my collection of beaus.

And if you can't see who I truly am,

then you might as well scram.
