Portraits of Me


How hard can it be to be myself?

All the different portraits of myself

 

Just how should I choose which me to show you?

I need help choosing, just give me a clue

 

Pick one and all the other me’s shatter

Can’t feel them fade so it doesn’t matter

 

I need to make everyone happy

Even if it makes me want to just flee

 

I need to pick the best me for today

Don’t worry; it’s not a permanent stay

 

I’m the expert with years full of practice

It’s alright, hopefully this me makes sense
