Choose

I’ve felt useless 
For so damn long 
Wanted to mean 
Something for someone 

I lost myself 
Just to find 
Someone who 
Couldn’t see me 

They can’t see that 
I’m trying to change
I’m still human and
Finding my own future 

Choosing my own choices 
Can’t tell if they’re right 
Or dead wrong, cause 
It’s my own life 

Why should I lose myself 
To make the wrong choices
Why should I lose myself 
Just to be invisible?

I was scared of losing you, but now
I’m exhilarated to find who I am
