Just Me

The pain it hurts
it won't subside
still it's there
even with all the techniques I've tried
it won't go away
I've tried the pills
I've tried the knife
why all the craziness
in my young life
Everything I do is wrong
nothing is right
at the end of the tunnel
where is my light
it's dark I can't see
why can't people like me
for just being me
I'm tired of trying
I'm tired of crying
I've been smiling but on the inside I'm truly dieing
I don't know what to do
it hurts so bad
when I fight with my parents
I get so mad
I just want to get out
and live my life
make my own choices
instead of them
ruling my life
I'm growing up
I can handle it
my cup is half full
I'm almost there
only one more year
sometimes it seems that
nobody wants me to be happy
the things I do make me happy
I don't want to change
I like the way I am
please don't try to change me
just let me be who I am
I'll live my life and you
will live yours
in my life there are many doors
some of them are open
some are closed those are not for anyone else to enter
these are my feelings
the way I feel, I will not surrender
please don't judge me before
you know me
give me a chance and maybe you
will see that
I am Just Me
