Upgraded Me

I fixed myself
Rearranged and got reprogrammed 
You see the way I was before
I must have had tons of viruses
Cause no one liked me
The individual 
Stand up for how she feels
Type of me
You see to them my image was ugly
My personality wasn't worth hearing
   If I wasn't another clone
       I got an upgrade
        New hard drive
          New mouse 
          Everything 
     Now their all looking 
        Whether jealously
            Or Admiring
           But I never though i'd feel this empty
               Got a bunch of new friends
                  Plus new enemies
               My image is virus free now
                  I've got the right software 
                        Now 
              But I used to feel free before
                 Now all I feel like is something 
                    Shiny and new 
                      A window display
                       I upgraded for all the wrong reasons
                         I did it 4 them when I should have done it 4 me
                              I upgraded myself
                                 But I still feel cheap
                                   My memory is hitting capacity
                                      I'm overloading 
                                         Losing control 
                                            I crash 
                                        Upgrade complete
