Walking the warped wooden planks
Stretched over gaping hole of failure
Don’t fall into my inky, sticky grime
Trust me, it never washes off
Acting out to hide the nothing
Bundle of mistakes that I am, I hide
Under my mask and name
Pretender in human clothes
Julia, rebel from the waist down
Don’t love me, don’t even try
Just call me beautiful
And I’ll settle for your empty praise
Use you as much as you would me
To prop me up, to hide me away
Under a fold of deception, treachery
Not unlike the masses in the least
Except in what I have to hide
Burned brownies and children’s toys
Face ugly with tears and neglect
Total war of the soul, salt in the fields
I’m a sinner in a cloak
A beauty made from hell
Nice to meet you, how can I break you
And use your shell to build up my walls
So no man can ever get back in?

Very similar to my own story, just replace 'man' with 'woman'. Very raw and real. I especially empathized with this bit:
'Acting out to hide the nothing
Bundle of mistakes that I am, I hide
Under my mask and name
Pretender in human clothes'
Too true.
