I see myself 

As a better me

Not caring about 

What other 

People think of me

I don't need approval 

From the way they stare 

Or whispher quietly 

In each others' ears. 

No I don't care 

You see 

They don't see 

What I'm like inside 

I'm me 

Not that I'd 

Think you would 

Even care or understand 

But that's just you 

Isn't it 

Passing judgement 

At first sight

Feigning ignorance 

Blindly making

Your stupid 

Pathetic assumptions 

At me 

Not anymore

Will I see listen 

I've learnt my lesson 

So here's a finger

 Try throwing a jibe at me

I'll calming thank you

So very politely...
