I Only Want To Be Me
If I am I, who is me?
I wish to understand,
but I can't see.
You're willing to talk to me,
But you never talk to I.
I am so confused,
when you tell me to try!
If it's not about me,
than is it about I?
I am so frustrated, that it makes me want to cry.
Please will you tell me?
I want you to try.
I have responsibilities,
still it's always up to me.
I think and I think,
I beg you please, explain it to me.
Will I ever be, the one who's able to fly?
You can take me somewhere,
I don't think you can take I.
I like spending time with you,
I am pleased you like me.
I love it even more,
when it's just you and me
You say that you know me,
Still I am so much more.
I have the answers,
Yet it's me you're looking for.
If only you'd take the time,
I know you would see me,
If I could explain
Perhaps I would be free
If you let me,
I will show you so much more.
I am the one knocking,
It's me outside your door.
For I am I,
still somehow I am me.
I can be anyone,
Yet there is only one me.
