Being Me


Being me is so hard It takes so much strength and courage That I even forget the reason of breathing All my life I have been fighting for what I believe in Struggle so hard to reach dose point Even if failure wasn't too far Falling off the road And picking up the energy to stand Sometimes I can't even define myself I make look like I have it all But there is no day I breath with out a struggle Sometimes am thankful Or I just put aside the fear Those dreams kept me moving I lied I just couldn't stop fighting Sometimes I want to hate myself for not quitting With my past hunting me And the future seams blurr My today's unexpected experience Expressing myself hasn't been the hardest Not knowing the path I stand And tangling good people in my life But couldnt hold them for so long My fears keep coming near Colliding with my dreams No more nightmare They now happen in the broad day light Every single step I take Hunt me like it's the end People wanna be me When I can't even be myself I am just a scary clothing Hidden with reaching out Life may confuse us all Choices our toughest mistake But our perfect teacher Being a warrior I had to kill myself first Before fighting my demons I don't know what happens next Even if I anticipate for them But still yet people don't see it What it takes to be oneself Standing up even in crisis Eager to run to reach those heights Sacrifice made that even killed the soul How salty are the waters that flow down my cheeks That tells me who I really am And leaves a remarkable memory But still yet I still breath the airs I stand with my heads up And I think with my brain far above earth But I will still be the girl with nothing Even with wings I came to this world empty
