I'm not Roxanne

Am I not? I know I'm not
So why am I

Compared to her more than
I am
Compared to myself

I am not supposed to be myself
I'm supposed to be everybody else
And not me
Because I'm not what you want me to be
And that's me

Fall flat on my face
Don't bother helping me up
Stare straight into space
I've thought of giving up

But I kept moving on

Incensed by your imprudent talks
Of how I should be more like him or her
Makes me think of who I am
Made me a better person towards myself

To have respect

I'm not Roxanne
I know I'm not
So don't compare me
To what whatever she's got

Fall flat on my face
Don't bother helping me up
Stare straight into space
I've thought of giving up

Incensed by your imprudent talks
Of how I should be more like him or her
Makes me think of who I am
Made me a better person towards myself

To have respect

Fall flat on my face
Don't bother helping me up
Stare straight into space
I've thought of giving up

But I kept moving on…
