Not Even Me

I look through old pictures
Just to see a person 
I genuinely used to be
Before everyone changed me

I'm not even me anymore
I turned into someone else
Somebody as fake as can be

I tried to do what society told me to
And it's not making me happy
I tried to be someone else 
Not an "outcast"
But I'm not even me

Don't give in
Be who you want to be
Or you'll turn into someone you can't stand to see
Trust me
I'm not even me
