This Is Me
A million tears shed at night
I can’t explain how I feel
Because I’m living my life in fright
It’s definitely surreal.
I worry about where my life is headed
My heart’s poignant aches.
Sadness and fear is all imbedded
In my life as everything breaks.
Sometimes I worry I don’t fit in
And maybe I know that it’s true.
No matter how hard I try to be “normal,”
That’s just not something I do.
I can’t be like the rest of you
Because, well, that is not me.
I may not be all that popular, too-
But it’s passed down my family tree.
I can’t change for anyone, and I won’t change for you
That just simply is not how I roll.
I am who I am, and that’s honest and true
Don’t try to gain control.
This is me, and even though
I may not be the same
I have many good qualities, this I know
That were given to my name.
So maybe I don’t fit in,
I never really do
But don’t hate me simply
Because I’m not like you.
My goal in life is to smile
A lot and bring love to my heart.
My goal is to go the extra mile
And be farther than where I did start.
My goal has never nor will it be
To fit into this world.
I am who I am, this is me
I’m my own spectacular girl.
