Why Can'T I Just Be Me?

Words unheard Cries unanswered Why do I even bother explaining my feelings? Sometimes I say some crazy things Sometimes I make some stupid mistakes But isn’t that what makes me human? Seems like everything I do isn’t how others want it So why can’t I just be me? I do what I believe is good I try not to hurt anyone Being myself never seems good enough Should I throw this old life away? And start a whole new me? But it just wouldn’t feel right Because I just want to be me
