To Be Me
They said I wasn't like them
that i would never be
looking for that love, in all the wrong places
acceptance i craved, longing for the ease
the pain grew so great,
it felt like i was trapped inside
a sad story, my tears still fresh
from being happy on the outside all the time
to be me, all i ever wanted
a word of praise, a word of kindness
was what i longed for
pushed behind this mask i wear
outside I'm confident, happy n carefree
but at night the tears still come
flowing like fresh rain from the trees
all i ask, all i want, i cant have
pushed to the extremes, these wreck less dreams
i asked for one thing, one day i hope to receive
to climb out of this shell, a time to be me
