I AM ME!

Why am I down like this?
Why am I depressed and sad?
Why do I want to cry so bad,
and why am I so mad?

It's been weeks for some reason
that I've been feeling this certain way.
But I've acted like I'm happy
every single day.

It's coming out, though, slowly
but more and more.
I'm crying myself to sleep
and I even cry behind closed doors.

I want to get over it,
but I'm just so sad and so down.
I can't get motivated to do anything,
because all I can do is frown.

Doesn't anybody realize
I want to get out in the "free"?
Doesn't anybody realize
I just want to be me?

I lost the feeling of how it felt
of when I used to play.
Of when I used to run around
every single day.

And I lost that special feeling
of when I used to sing
I could express how I felt,
by singing anything!

I gave all my power away
by not laughing and having fun.
I gave it to those people
who taught me how to run...

To run from all my problems
and run from all my fears.
And I gave it to those people
who brought me all these tears.

But now I can realize
and now I can really see,
that THEY are NOT worth
me not being me!
