Let Me Be Me

I’m tired of trying

When all I do is fail

I’m tired of running

With my legs securing my tail



I’m tired of the fear

The sickening sense of defeat

The taste of my blood

As it hits the street



Sick of sorrow

Sick of shame

Sick of me being

The one they blame



Why is it me

What did I do

It’s a hellish day

Living in this zoo



I hold onto my faults

And all I cannot see

Help me let go

Help me be me



Give me the answer

Give me the key

Just let me let go

Just let me be me
