I’m not sure where I belong
Is this world crazy or just me
Sometimes I feel like I’m doing everything so wrong
But then there’s the other me
The person I strive to be
She is courageous and strong
Determine to do all that is assumed wrong  
And sometimes I see her
And all I want is to be her
I tell myself why can’t I break free
Be who I want to be
Do what I want to do
But at the end of the day
I must awake from this fantasy
Because no one is ready for me
No one is ready to truly accept people who are different  
So I’ll put on smile
And compose myself
I’m out of the box
That is easy to see
But I stay within guidelines
Because society would never accept me
And when the world is ready to open their minds
To accept and recognize that we are beautiful and unique

To embrace each individual’s originality  
Only then will I get to be me
I will get to shine
Until then, unfortunately, I will stay within the guidelines
Drinking another glass of wine
Throwing up a peace sign
Smiling and laughing on all the cue times
But never saying what is truly on my mind
