Free To Be Me

I'm not one to boast, in fact I'm not all that great

I've got flaws just like all people do

I have insecurities and fears, I have lot on my plate

That's how life is, so what else is new?

People are cruel, thriving on what breaks others down

Trust me, I've been there it's a rough place to be

They make you a peasant and they steal your crown

They find where you're weak and they go on a spree

Day after day you try being strong

But after a while you give up, you grow tired

One day you'll realize that they have it all wrong

You look past what they say and see how you are wired

For me, I discovered just who I am

I roll with the punches, and let them have their way

What makes me flawless is that I like who I am

Let people poke fun, but at the end of the day

The odd-ends and quirks that run through my veins

All the lose-ends and even the flaws that they find

Remind me who I am, and I feel no pain

So when people poke fun, I'm not in a bind

I am flawless because I am confident in me

Not confidence that causes pride, I don't puff up my chest

I am confident and can let myself be

Just who I want and so let them all jest

I need just enough confidence to get myself through

Confidence to believe that I'm good enough for me

Because they do not matter, let them do what they do

While I go through my life, living it free
