If You Don't Like Me Poem by JayJay Maybank

All my life I have been
On the out looking in
Never had a bright side
Afraid to show my dark side

All the times that I tried
But fitting in just backfired

Sometimes the things that break you

Can be the things that make you
And it's for the best cos of what happens next

So cut me with your words
You won't see me bleeding
Strangle me with rope
You won't stop me from breathing
I'm dancing in the rain
I'm okay
I'm who I want to be

And I'm not sorry if you don't like me
I'll fight the wolves and the hounds
Through the ups and the downs
If no one wants to know me
I'll be my one and only

So you tell me I'm the queen of nothing
So you say I won't amount to anything more
I'll leave those voices at the back door

And it's for the best
Cos of what happens next

So cut me with your words
You won't see me bleeding
Strangle me with rope
You won't stop me from breathing

I'm dancing in the rain
I'm okay
I'm who I want to be

And I'm not sorry if you don't like me

If you don't like me
If you don't like me
If you don't like me

So cut me with your words
You won't see me bleeding
Strangle me with rope
You won't stop me from breathing
I'm dancing in the rain
I'm okay
I'm who I want to be

And I'm not sorry if you don't like me
