I Can Be Me
dont tell me im a stranger in my own town
jus cause i dont like everyone else around
im homebound
been qiet since i dont know when
hard to speak up
trying not t pretend
that im not who i say i am
i just cant speak up in front of them
because its to hard
i was trapped inside a world of fear
i couldnt move the box so i had to break through it or tear
its like nothing else mattered
or no one else would care
i only cared of what they thought of me
and i still kept the dream of what i wanted to be
i wanted them t know and i wanted them to see
that i could speak for myself
i could be free
