Be Myself

Why can't I be myself?

When I know I'm more than this,

Why can’t everybody else?

Offer me some peace.

Am I nothing more than an outcast?

Am I just another freak show?

Why can't I stop living in my past?

And just try to let it go.

I want to be more than what I show,

I want to be more than this girl,

I want to try to let this go,

And see what is real.

I'm a girl you will never understand,

I'm a girl that can be anything I want to be,

I can sail the world and not pretend,

To be someone who is not me.

I can show you a whole new world,

And not regret every second of your time,

I can give you all the words,

That can make the perfect rhyme.

I can show you the real me,

I can show you what I could do,

I can tell you what I want to be,

I can tell you what is true.

Maybe one day I'll find my way,

For me to be myself,

Maybe one day I can break away,

Just like everybody else.
