saving face, a personal transformation

I'm tired of trying to be the perfect girl
A nameless face in a made-up world
A chick who's always ahead of the game
A woman who acts without any shame
A lady who's up with the latest trend
A girl who's never had a heart to mend

If you saw the real me
You'd be shocked at what you see
A child with a soft heart to steal
A female with many wounds to heal
A teenager with a broken soul
A daughter who's had to pay the toll

I'm tired of hiding who I am
And feeling like my life's been a sham
It's a lie, that old cliché
The one that “real” people always say
What you see isn't always what you get
It's only what people are willing to let

I'm ending the charade
Retiring the scam
And if you don't like this choice I've made
“Quite frankly my dear,
I don't give a damn.”

Thank you Nicole, Steph, Christina, Michelle, and Chrissy, for being there to talk me through the rough times I've encountered recently. This is dedicated to you.

Scary, I could so relate to this.

Thank you. The quote at the end came from the movie "Gone With The Wind." I thought it would be an appropriate allusion.
