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
