Myself

by claire   Jun 3, 2008


Nothing I ever do is good enough
Maybe if it was
She would watch the movie with me...
Instead of talking on the phone
Maybe if it was
He would take time to rent me a movie...
Instead of just giving me money
Maybe if it was
He would care about what I say...
Instead of telling me to shut up
Maybe...
Maybe...
Maybe...
One day I shall have to stop using maybes
One day I shall have to come to terms with Who I am
People tell you to be yourself...
Like it's just that easy
I've never been myself,
I have always tried to please them
So who I am has gotten lost along the way
I have found who I am
But every time I try to be myself...
I always end up disappointing someone
And when you've always been the screw up child
And have always disappointed people
It's hard to be yourself...
Because you know that you're just going to disappoint them even more
But one day...
I will have to come to terms with who I am
And today is that day
I know that I will never find true, long lasting happiness
Until I am open with who I am
I know that I will never find true love
Until I am comfortable with the person in my heart
I am ready to handle
the hardships
the disappointments
that come with being myself
I might lose friends
I might gain friends
I will disappoint my family
But at least
I lose
or
I gain
or
I disappoint
because I am being true to who I am
I am finally
