Don't want anyone to see me
Hiding behind an image that is not my own
People want me to be who they want me to be
I just want to be who I am
Accept me for me
Love me for that
Appreciate my gifts
And forgive me my faults
I am only human, just as you
I have come so far, but just keep being put back
at the starting gate
A song once sang, I have done so much wrong, I don't know if I can do right
Thats what I feel as I sit here and look out at what I thought I had just conquered.
Sad to say, the ones you love the most..are the ones that hold you back
Unbeknownst to them, they punch you in the heart
You may hurt them, blindly, but you are just trying to figure it out
Figure out who you are
Just walking along, trying to live life to its fullest,
never know what blows hit you harder and which ones you ignore
Find things out sooner or later and you will be safe
Just remember who you are and who you want to be,
Life may be rough but you are tougher
and one day you will succeed...just believe in yourself.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this because of the way i felt about my mom..how she makes me feel and how awful it is for people to be hurt by the ones you love most.
