Me

I'm not me

Your not me

He's not me

She's not me

So would you please stop controlling me

 

The fake me is

The one always in trouble

The one talking to the troubled ones

The one making the wrong choices when I know the right ones.

The one bringing drama every step I go

Wow, I have been troublesome

 

The real me is

The quiet kid in the corner

The placid kid doing all his work

while ignoring the others

The nice kid friends with the others

The smart kid acing all of his work

Wow, I wish I could be that kid

 

I'm not the real me because

The others got to be so mean

The others have to treat me differently

The others had no respect for me

Thee others never take me seriously

Wow, the others are so mean

 

I wish I was me so

My parents will be proud

My teachers will appreciate me

My friends to take me seriously

My community to notice me

Wow, how I wish that could be me

 

If I was me

My person would be carefree

My life to live fully

My mind to be fearless

Everyone around me to be happy

Wow if that would happen to me, if I was the real me....

Then why don't I be me
