Lesa Rodden Poet Rhyme

Myself

I'VE PUT SO MUCH OF MYSELF AWAY
IN ORDER TO LIVE IN THESE DAYS
IN FACT, I'VE DISSOCIATED SO MUCH
MOST DAYS ARE JUST A BIG HAZE

I'VE TRIED TO CONFORM INTO THIS CERTAIN ME
WHO I THOUGHT I WANTED TO BE
TURNS OUT I'M NOT LIKING THIS VIEW
I'M NOT LIKING THIS PERSON THEY CALL "ME"

I'M CHANGING MY THOUGHTS AND DECISIONS
FOR A LIFE THAT I THOUGHT I KNEW
I'VE LEARNED YOU CAN'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE
HENCE...TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE

I GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN LIFE AND A PLAY OF SORTS
AND WHAT KEEPS RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND
IS HOW I SHOULD HAVE JUST STAYED THE SAME 
SO I WOULD HAVE HAD A LIFE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

MY OWN ACTIONS HAVE CHANGED THE OUTCOME
OF WHAT I WANTED MY LIFE TO BE
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL GET BACK TO NORMAL
STRANGE...ALL I WANT IS TO BE ME
