Who Am I

Angelyn is my name, you know 
that already
Beside my looks and what you 
hear and see
Do you really know who I am and 
what I wanted to be?
Perhaps not... so don't judge me 
easily!

Outwardly, I may be sound and 
look unfitting
Let's accept the fact, there's no 
perfect humanbeing
I have my flaws, imperfections 
and wishful thinking
But deep inside my heart, I'm 
compassionate and loving.

My true identity, the real me... 
isn't hard to define
I don't pretend coz its hard to 
wear shoes that aren't mine
What you see is what you get, just 
read between the line
Unfortunately not everyone will 
get it...but that's fine.

Even sometimes I am judge and 
misunderstood
I'm trying my best to make sense, 
be productive, to be good
To be nice, to be honest and be 
myself whatever my mood
Struggling to make both ends 
meet... I wish I could

Only God knows my struggles and 
all I've given and taken
Problems do come and go for us 
to be shaken
No matter what happens, I'll face 
each day with a smile
My faith is strong, someday I can 
reach a thousand mile.
