Somtimes I just want to scream
Sometimes I just want to scream
I am not who you want me to be
I am not strong nor am I weak
I am not perfect neither am I a mistake
I am not honest or a liar
I am not a bitch and I am not a sweetheart
I am not a great beauty or a hideous hag
I am not a genius or an idiotic bumbling fool
I am not an award winning hero or a coward hiding from his own shadow
I am not a saint but I am also not a murderer
Sometimes I just want to scream
I am not who you want me to be
I am strong only when I need to be and weak when my pride will allow it.
I laugh and cry, sometimes at the wrong things, and even for the wrong reasons
I am honest as can be, but I still lie to myself
I can be a bitch and as sweet as angel
Some days when I look in the mirror, I am beautiful, others... well... I might do,
I am intelligent, however I have so much more to learn
I fight when I have to, and run when I can
I try to be good, but I am human
Sometimes I just want to scream
I am not who you want me to be
Why can't I be a little bit of everything
Can't you just accept me for who I am
with my imperfections, mistakes, and baggage
could you love me for all of my faults
Sometimes I just want to scream
I am not who you want me to be
Let me be who I need to be
And love me anyway...
