I Will Be Me

Lyrics

Who am I? Am I the guy That appears wise, But lies With compromise To not surprise His vision in acquaintance eyes? With pain, no pride Deep inside I feel devoid, Of soul. It’s cold in here It’s dark in here I must escape This place, My fear, To trace what’s dear To take the wheel of life and steer. I want to be me. I know who I want to be, But I don’t know if it’s me. I’m suffering from this thing, That you all call “Identity”. Though you cannot see My misery, I am in pain. I have been strained, Blamed and self disdained, And while I feel ashamed Of who I am I’m not kind. I am sublime At using time And tricks and rhymes To glow and shine. My heart is dark, deep, but out of bark Through the smoke the steam I need to scream I am not me. Happiness Another test To see if I can act my best I cannot rest. I mustn’t jest. I can only be a gentleman, A helpful man, A person who will hold your hand, Covered in sweat, Covered in tears. I’m in the stands With bands of cheers For everyone, Just not for me. My heart is stopped, But doesn’t bleed I’m in need. I will be freed And ride away on a white steed I’ll race the rivers Climb the mountains I will break my fears and doubts and Most importantly I’ll be me.
