Tell me


tell me who I am?

Am i a wild one,

Am I a daughter,

Am I a son?

 

Tell me who I am?

What do I wanna be?

Do I wanna be a doctor, who will save somebody?

Will I go to the army, and fight for what is right?

Will I dance for a daydream, my hours in the night?

 

Tell me who I am?

What do I wanna be?

What am I on the outside?

Beige, white skinned?

Black, chinese, african-american?

Tall, short, wide thighed, thin?

Am I non athletic or do I go to the gym?

 

Tell me who I am?

What do I wanna be?

What am I on the outside?

Or I am in the in?

Do I have a mean streak?

Or scars deep down?

Do I have mental problems?

Do I wear a frown?

 

Tell me who I am?

What do I wanna be?

They say no filter,

They say to be me,

How do I show them?

Who I can be?

How do I show them?

That this is me?
