A Misguided Effort

Look at what you made me give.
A shallow way to live.
Changed my clothes and my hair.
So you all wouldn't stare.
Acting different so you'd accept me.
Yet, I'm still not free.
You haven't a clue.
I locked my heart away to please you.
Realizing I'm the one who lied.
What of me was left inside?
Nothing left but an empty shell.
Because I gave into your spell.
I was trying to be cool.
But I was just your fool.
Laughing behind my back.
With your wolf pack.
My hope made me blind.
To you and your kind.
What did I expect?
Some kind of respect?
You just watched me fall.
In the end, I lost it all.
