They Say I Am

They say i am stressed, in fact i am instead depressed.
They say i am insane, in reality said allegations are clear as drops of rain.
They say i am pessmistic, these words to me are optimistic.
They say i am broken, truth has been ever oh so spoken.
They say i am numb, they don't seem to be dumb.
They say i am carefree, they can truly see what is me.

They say i am unique, i am as unique like your old dusty antique.
They say i am smart, this is apart from thine truth.
They say i am confident, this is not evident.
They say i am independent, i wear my facade like a pendant.
They say i am beautiful, they are too blindable.
They say i am serious, this makes me furious.
