Being Me
"I suppose it’s hard to fit into the world,
If you never really try.
But why would I want to be a ghost?
No, I am who I am, and I am proud of it.
I always will be, too.
So don’t try to turn me into your mindless follower,
And don’t try to make me lead.
All of us should have the chance,
The chance to just be one.
I’m here to be me,
Not a glob of principles and values that mean nothing to us in the end.
Yes, there is a time unite, a time to be together.
But there is also a time to be you and no one else.
A time to teach yourself what you are;
A time to know what time is.
Yes, I suppose it’s hard to fit into this world,
If you never really try.
I don’t want to try, though.
I just want to be me."
