I Am

I am a real person inside
I am a person who shouldnt hide

I am a person with doubt
I am a person letting everything out

I am here
I am a person living in fear

I am different
I am a person remembering it

I am just me
I am someone wanting someone to see

Me

I start to realize things in my life
How everything always brings me strife

How I have to try so hard to be someone
else never being able to be myself

Always hiding behind something I dont
believe in only to find out that I wont win

Tears fall down all the time and I still
keep telling myself Im fine

This all is going to come to an end and
when it does I wont have to pretend

Even

Even though I dont know what to do, Im still
 determined to see this life through.

Even if everything seems to be going wrong
 Im still determined to stay strong.  

Even though everyday might be the same,Im
 still not going to think Im to blame.

Even if I have to deal with no one understanding
 me, Im still going to always know what they see.

Even though it seems like my choices arent smart,
Im still remembering that it doesnt mean 
I will fall apart.

Even if I think life is my biggest fear,Im still
going go accept that my place is hear.
