I Am Me

You live for yourself

I live for nothing

You live them

I live for nothing

You have hope

I'm a bucket full of sorrow

You have confidence

I'm just me

You're gorgeous

I'm just me

You are smart

I am not

You have grace

I bring trouble

You have God

I have demons

You run to God

I run from the demons

You are you

I am me

This is exactly how it's supposed to be

Our fate

You succeed

I falter

You rise

I grasp at straws

You're innocent

I'm guilty

You love life

I want to die

You are loved

I yearn for love

I yearn to be someone else

To live for myself

To live for them

To have hope

To have confidence

To be gorgeous

To be smart

To have grace

To escape the demons

To succeed

Not falter

To rise

To be innocent

To love life

To feel love

And most of all to be accepted. But no matter how hard I try I'll always be me.
