Only Be You

Only Be You

Thinking about it all day-hoping every possible way

Dreaming as much as my mind can contain

Turning up the radio, until I slowly go insane.

 

Playing drums-even if it's midnight

But of course I love it, it all feels just right.

Hearing someone I love say-I hate you,

Believe me; it's something I will never do.

 

Writing and writing until my heart starts to ache

and when waking up in the morning is almost too much to take.

Someone telling me I have the coolest eyes,

and wishing I could believe them but they only tell lies.

 

Watching cartoons- even if people say i'm too old,

Followed by a comeback, “ At least I don't have a heart that's cold.”

Laughing as people continue to insult me.

It only makes me happier seeing how weak they can be.

 

Me- and incredibly small word with so much inside it.

Being me has brought me many different challenges.

But aside it all, it is really quite simple.

Sometimes it's those demons that make living worth while.

So, why not just live, and only be you?
