Some people see light in me
Fire inside that I don't see
Burning bulb of a spirit sweet
Expectations I fail to meet
Some people think I am great
Love the pieces I create
Only imperfections there
A decent work is oh-so-rare
Some people know the things that I have done
Battles fought but never won
Yet they love me despite my wrong
Believing it made me strong
Some people wish I would try
Push myself until I cry
They don't realize that I do
The fire in me just won't shine through
Some people see grief inside
One I so carefully hide
Because I understand but they don't see
Some people cannot be what you want them to be
