I Don't Want to Be
We're born into a world where we are not accepted
We have to reach expectations that aren't set to be ours
We live out lies to see others happy,
But what about me?
What about my happiness?
Why do I have to live a lie?
Why am I made to hide my unhappiness?
I want to break out of this unfitted shell,
It isn't mine to wear,
I hated being something I wasn't,
I like being who I am.
I'm me
The shy one only at first glance'
I'm the girl who smiles at pain
Because it will one day go away
I'm the girl,
who knows your real name,
And not the ones that are written,
In the locker room stalls.
I'm the girl,
Who strums away,
On the cords of her guitar
Just for fun,
Or on a warm summers day
I'm shamelessly me the girls who shy at first,
But knows your first name,
And the one strumming away,
On a warm summers day,
I might not be perfect,
But I'm perfectly me,
and I don't wish to be anything,
Other than me.
