I can be me now Now that I know that I don’t have to be someone I’m not I can be me now Now that the pain is gone and worry is through I can be me now Now that I know who I am And where I must go I can be me now Now that my entire life has been shown to other’s eyes Now that I know that they don’t have to understand to know what I’ve been through I can be me now Now that we are through Now that I’ve realized I made myself Perfect just to make you like me more I can be me now Now that I have found the road The road destined to make me shine.
Reason for writing:
I realized after I had broken up with my frist boyfriend a couple months ago that I was always hiding the real me. I liked whatever he liked, listened to whatever he listened to, did what he did. I was pretending. And all so that he could like me more. But now that our relationship has ended I've totally changed my perspective on things and I've gotten out of my shell. I've finally found myself.
