I Want To Be Like Me

My life swings 
Without any full stop...
I strived grow 
they told I was worthless,
I moved on with my life
Wistful, yet too slow.


The day I tried to dance
they told me I'm unfit;
When I tried to sing 
they told I'm just howling...
I'm neglected 
as I am ugly...


I moved on 
with my life on thorns;
Filled with twists 
and the strangest turns..
I shouted and screamed
with my darkest life.


I don't want to be a hero
to show off to others;
I just want to live my life
with my whole heart...
I want to myself 
they call me , "weird."


I don't want to be 
a sheep like you;
Let me stay happy 
at least with my dreams...
I want to live my life
as a peaceful soul...


Being behind doesn't matter
I just want to be like me 
as my mirror reflects me...
I am a bee; I prefer tea
let the world move 
I want to be like me...


I don't prefer to live 
only with success;
Without failures 
Lessons are just junk words...
Let me be like me 
Until I reach life of my dream.
