Copy

by Lyn-Purcell

*** *** - I cannot be something I'm not. If I do, I'll be living a false life. I won't give pride to have my heart and soul bound by a script just so people will like me Just because I want to be renown I don't want that I want people to focus on my words, not my life My passions, no pretenstions My flaws, not perfection For there is no perfect being in this world. I want to be proud to be me To own all of who I am and to live without judgement But how can I when people are ready to throw stones because hate is the newest trend? I won't be a copy of someone I'm not. I can't pretend to be something I'm not. Life is short and there is only one me. I've done and said alot of things I shouldn't have... And looking back, it makes me feel ashamed, to be and not be seen Shame hangs over my head each time So please, I'm begging you just let me be proud of being and showing the real me... - *** ***

Notes

On the trains to my course and my mind just wanders. I don't want to be someone else. I do and don't want to be seen.

I just want to find my way and to be who

I am in peace with people I care about

and who care for me.

Is that so much to ask?

Lyn xxx
