I Stand By Everything I've

There Are Lots Of Poster Children For Angst. But There Aren't Many Poster Children For Cool Angst. Everybody Thinks It's Cool If You're The Bad Girl. But What About The People Who Are Really Not Feeling That Great? Why Can't I Get Up In Front Of Millions Of People, As A Person Who Represents My Generation, And Tell Them That I'm Angry? Who Puts These Limits On What My Personality Should Be In Public?

You Can Live Your Whole Life In Your Brain And Not Experience What's Around You. You Go Crazy That Way. That's Why I Have To Watch Myself When I Get Isolated For Too Long.

Do They Think I'm On Drugs? That I Have A Life-threatening Illness? That I'm Anorexic? Emotionally, It Doesn't Get Easier To Hear Those Criticisms - But It Gets Easier To Be Resolute About My Reaction To It.

It's Calm Under The Waves In The Blue Of My Oblivion.

It's A Sad, Sad World When A Girl Will Break A Boy, Just Because She Can.
