I Want To Be Me

when people turn and ask
'who are you'
all I say is 'I'm me,
I'm who I chose to be'

I'm not normal
I'm just me
I live and learn
I also make mistakes

I'm a mystery
to figure out
when you do though
let me know

I need to keep
searching for the girl
the little one
that I used to know

she was sweet
she was kind
but no looking back
who am I

I've fallen so much
I've learned not to trust
I've learned not to hide
but where do I stand

by the time I'm old enough
to figure this all out
it might be to late
I might've mist my chance

I don't know
who I am
all I know is
who I want to be

I want to stand out
I want to be me
I want to be a leader
I don't want to hide

I know now
that I need to find
my guiding star
then find the path

to be me
what does it mean
to be who I want
or to be who I am

I know that
all of my dreams
don't stretch too far
but far enough to hardly see

when will I find her
the one I'm looking for
the one with the dreams
the one I call me?
