Me

will they ever accept me for me 
do they not see
im trying my hardest to be 
what they want me to be

i work my hardest at everything
im just not smart and cant sing
i cant do anything

i need to know what more they want from me 
can they not see im the best i can be
why can they not see 
that what they see is the real me

We are who we are....I would love to be on a stage singing to a crowd, but my voice stinks, I would love to be in front of a Piano in a bar with a crowd around me but my playing is suspect at best... So I write from the heart Poetry and thats me... and maybe thats you too...Michael"s 2 cents
