Don'T Tell Me Who To Be
I viewed myself as worthless
Because at the time I was a mess.
I look at myself by how I feel.
I wish this part of me wasn't real.
I feel sorry for myself.
It's bad for my health.
What do others see,
When they look at me?
I still have junk that I need to confess,
Junk that I still need to address.
Happiness is something that someone can steal.
People can hit me till I fall down and kneel.
You can put me on a shelf
and make me look stealth.
But from now on, I will see the good in me.
So please don't tell me who to be.
