Disclaimer: I don't own any thing from Smallville except my dreams and stories I guess… no characters or plot lines or anything… or else it would never have had Lana in it this long.

I Don't Know

Everyone's all down my back.

They say I'm losing focus of the things I truly care about.

They say I have no spine, that I can't make it on my own.

I'm sick of all this 'concern.'

They tell me to pull it together.

They ask why I am acting so different.

Here's my BRILLIANT answer:

I DON'T KNOW.

Does that satisfy everyone?

I.Don't.Know.

I'll admit it.

I don't have all the answers.

I can pretend that I do, but even to myself I am a mystery.

Don't ask me to explain myself.

Don't ask me to make excuses.

This is the way I am

And I'm not going to change just for you.
