I am that girl
Who goes to the library, not the mall
Who loves the book better than the movie
Who plays video games 'til one AM
Who listens to heavy metal, not Pop
Who watches anime and reads Manga
Who is a total Otaku
Who hangs with the dudes, not sleeps with them
Who follows her virtues
And her dreams
And her heart
Who has been broken so many times but still smiles
Who cries when no one is looking
Who pretends not to be hurt
Who sits of in the corner by herself
Who loves that she is alive
Because there was a time she didn't want to be
I am that girl who is proud
I am that girl who survived
