I start being me today,
You dont like it, then back away,
I really dont know who else to be,
So if you cant take it, please walk away from me
Was it all just a facade
Think on it, its rather odd
Trying to be just what you expect
I lost me, I lost MY respect
Too many times Ive wanted to say no
Too many times you wouldnt let go
I hurt, I cry, I struggle as well
Sometimes my life is a daily hell
Im not as strong as you might think
I cover it with a laugh, a giggle, a wink
I'm not perfect, dont claim to be
Simply put, Im just plain me
Just look past all of the shit
Pick up the pieces you didnt think fit
I'm going to start right here
Damn you and damn your fear
Let me be the child inside
A little scared, a little wild
Room to grow into that I used to be
Loving, sensual and carefree
If you cant let me be who I am
Then really I dont give a damn
I need "me time" I need to laugh
I have to get back who I was in the past
So here today I start anew
Say goodbye to who you thought you knew
