Let It Be Me

LET IT BE ME

Let it be me
How hard can it be?
Is it so difficult to see?
And just let it be me?

To be me
Is not easy to be
No one understand
No one can stand

It's hard to believe 
People don't know!
The life that I live
beyond the shadow

They put me aside 
They don't know my side!
They shut me down!
They turn me down!

Pretend and be accepted
Be me and be rejected
Living deceivingly 
Is living gruelingly...

To be me is sanity
Solemnity
And Humility...
I just want to be me.

With hardly any friends
With family that lessened
Its quality more than quantity
What is important is to be me.

Because honestly I've gained and lost so many friends. And some I've noticed looking back that they really weren't even true friends after all. Great job -LU
