I'm me.
I'm the compilation of thousands of different influences.
But I'm me.
I may walk like you.
I may speak like you.
But I'm not you.
I'm me.
And what a lonely and scary place to be.
No precedent to follow.
No guidebook to read.
I blaze my own path.
I'm me.
If you cut me I'll bleed.
Hold me underwater, I'll drown.
I'm mortal like you.
But I'm not you.
I'm me.
I relate to you.
I interact with you.
We talk. We chat.
But you don't know me.
You don't know the choices I make.
You don't know my reasons for being.
Nor the pain that I feel.
Because you're you.
And I'm me.
I'm sorry I make my own choices.
I'm sorry I live my life on a different track than most.
I have to.
It's my code.
My core.
Take it away, I'm nothing.
There's no me.
BUT I'M ME!
I need to exist.
I may shun the spotlight
and keep to the shadows.
But I need to be.
In order to be me.
I'm the compilation of thousands of different influences.
But I'm me.
I may walk like you.
I may speak like you.
But I'm not you.
I'm me.
And what a lonely and scary place to be.
No precedent to follow.
No guidebook to read.
I blaze my own path.
I'm me.
If you cut me I'll bleed.
Hold me underwater, I'll drown.
I'm mortal like you.
But I'm not you.
I'm me.
I relate to you.
I interact with you.
We talk. We chat.
But you don't know me.
You don't know the choices I make.
You don't know my reasons for being.
Nor the pain that I feel.
Because you're you.
And I'm me.
I'm sorry I make my own choices.
I'm sorry I live my life on a different track than most.
