Some things I'm a winner at

Some things drag me not to boast

But I worry, is talent mine

Or is it a lie, a ghost

A ghost that never existed

Something that's not true

A ball of lead's around my foot

And I'm led to believe

It's due to something else, not me

I fear the worst in me

I want to be the doll they see

Intelligent, talented, beautiful, smart

And everything between

But I cannot change what's inside

Skeleton I try to hide

I'm talked about and they gawk

At my wisdom and my songs

Little do they know, rarely

Do I write of someone else

A ghost that never existed

Something that's not true

A ball of lead's around my foot

And I'm led to believe

It's due to something else, not me

I fear the worst in me

I want to be the doll they see

Intelligent, talented, beautiful, smart

And everything between

But I cannot change what's inside

Skeleton I try to hide

All the words of lawlessness

And loneliness, that's just me

Picture of a perfect dream

That hides a cruel reality

And I fear I don't deserve praise

That people neglect my worst days
