Who I am, is not what I want to be, Who I am, is someone that I can't see, Who I am, is not who I want to be, I am caged in self-doubt and spite, Who I am, is someone I can't see, Rooted in bad-habits, a rotten tree, The fruit of my efforts poisonous, Who I am, is not who I want to be. Rockbottom, I've gone far below sea, Drowning in regret, thoughts I circumvent, Who I am, is someone I can't see, When will I feel something? I plea, Tired of feeling tired when I'm tired, Who I am, is not who I want to be, Me and self-love can't seem to agree, And it isn't self-hate, just negligence, Who I am, is someone I can't see, This year has been tough on me, Broke down my armour and stability I've survived somehow miraculously Broken and hurt, faced my problems, Even if I did it a little haphazardly, But I will change, I will change cause: Who I am, is not who I want to be, Who I am, is someone I can't see.

Who I am
Who I am, is not what I want to be, Who I am, is someone that I can't see, Who I am, is not who I want to be, I am caged in self-doubt and spite, Who I am, is someone I can't see, Rooted in bad-habits, a rotten tree, The fruit of my efforts poisonous, Who I am, is not who I want to be. Rockbottom, I've gone far below sea, Drowning in regret, thoughts I circumvent, Who I am, is someone I can't see, When will I feel something? I plea, Tired of feeling tired when I'm tired, Who I am, is not who I want to be, Me and self-love can't seem to agree, And it isn't self-hate, just negligence, Who I am, is someone I can't see, This year has been tough on me, Broke down my armour and stability I've survived somehow miraculously Broken and hurt, faced my problems, Even if I did it a little haphazardly, But I will change, I will change cause: Who I am, is not who I want to be, Who I am, is someone I can't see.
Self reflection has shown me I don't like the person I am right now, and I am not depressed about it, just eager to start the process of change to who I imagine myself to be.
