I'm Discovering

i've been discovering myself again

in this sort of new wave, frequency

where I know where I stand when it comes to life

i know what i'm supposed to be doing

I figured it out

I can only summarize it like this

I'm doing me.

but that would be lying

because in the midst of arguments

and in the midst of passionate events

or in the midst of love

i'm not doing me.

i'm doing them.

i've been trying to figure out which way to go when it comes to life

and every time i wanna do me

I can't

because half the things I wanna do proudly

are not good enough for them

them being people I care about

so now the questions is

do I even know who I am without them?

do i even know what kind of life I would have if it was only dependent on me?

that's what i mean

when i say i'm doing me

it's because the only me i know

is within them.

how do i set myself free?
