I want to be me


Where am I? My emotional wave is growing bigger Am I in a deep ocean? I swim but there's no where to rest I sinking at the weight that presses me down I'm going down Suffocating from the frustrations An unbearable pressure Rises in my heart I wanna be myself I wanna run I need your love and help I can overcome If we're together Just let me free Let me free I know I may seem rude I was pushed by the fickle waters I'm shaking Please take me out of this anxiety Let me free Hold my hand so I can escape Is anyone out there? Who hears me loud and clear I'm going without knowing where I'm going When it's hard, I let the strength leave me I wanna trust the flow of life Every moment to me is like a celebration of life I'm gonna dance my own way Only got one life to live No matter what anyone says When the party ends So I can say, I did it my way I wanna be myself I wanna run I wanna be free
