When I was a real girl,
I smiled because my heart wanted to,
Not because I was sick of explaining.

When I was a real girl,
I did things because I wanted to,
Not because of people's expectations.

When I was a real girl,
I said things I wanted to,
Not things people wanted to hear.

When I was a real girl,
I shove my head in the blankets to hide from the morning sun,
Not because I didn't want people to see my red puffy eyes.

When I was a real girl,
I said I didn't care because I meant it,
Not because I was scared to be hurt.

When I was a real girl,
I celebrated love for myself for who I was,
Not for what people said about me.

When I was a real girl,
Nothing mattered.

When I was a real girl,
Everything was easy.

When I was a real girl,
I was happy.

When I was a real girl,
I wouldn't wish to be dead.
