How do I be who you want
When I'm not who I want to be

How do I take the pressure you put on me
When I can't take the pressure I make myself

How do I ask for your help
When I don't try to help myself

How do I tell you how I feel
When I'm not even certain

The lies and slander
I speak of myself
The false images
In which I present myself
The treacherous feelings of hope and success
I so carelessly give

Who am I to write these words
Who am I to say anything
Who am I
