All I Need
All I need is a chance
One chance to define myself
Since I was a little child, I was always who to be,
What to wear
What I can and can’t eat
Do this; don’t do that
Like him, not her.
Love a god who never proved their existence in my life
Now almost 18 years old and I don’t know who I am as a person;
So now all I need is to know who I am in myself.
What do I need out of my life that I live?
I need an education to take me to where I always dreamed to be since I was 14 years old;
Running camera on the set of the next blockbuster or working with a famous band or artist that year.
I need to love myself because I’m all I have at the end of the day.
All I need is the confidence to stop trying to please and satisfy everyone else and focus on myself.
All I need is me.
