Perfectly Proud
They tell me keep on trying
But I can t see why
I am tired of searching
Tired of acting out a lie
Is this not who I’m supposed to be
Because I don’t understand
If my life is not for me
Please show me who I am
I have been the sweet young daughter
I have been the grateful friend
I have taken every blow life gave me
Always been the one to bend
And after all this time
Every heart break
Each and every lie
Im still here chasing my dreams
So I will be what I feel
Chase what I know to be real
I will climb the tallest mountain
See a sky of red and orange and teal
And I will scream who I am out loud
I may never be perfect, no
But Ill be perfectly proud
