[bodytext] => You are,
The wind, I am, The sapling, That lets the gale blow it, ‘Cause its better. But if you insist, I will break. You are the sea, And I am the swimmer, That lets the current push him, ‘Cause its better. But if you insist, I will drown. Don’t Ask me to change who I am. Don’t Ask me to change what I do. Cause I like who I am, Cause I like what I do; It’s who I am. If you ask me to change, It won’t be me no more; It’d be an empty shell, A shadow of the one I am, A fake, A mask, Smiling, Cause that’s what makes you happy. You say I should change, Cause my traits are too sensitive: “End up hurting myself”, But this is the way I am, I can’t change that, The whole Me. All you’re asking me to do, Is to hide my hurt, my pain, my sorrow, my fear, my anger. You say I should be stronger, That I shouldn’t care so much about others, What they do and what they say. I know, I know I’m too weak, And it hurts, It hurts bad, But I can’t help it, And I can’t change myself, So stop telling me to be someone else, Stop telling me to deny myself, Cause that’s not who I am. I am not Ms. Perfect, Ms Invincible, Stop trying to make me one. To you it seems like the perfect solution, But sorry, It just, Ain’t me, And I won’t, Erase that Me.
