Why do I still care a lot
About what others think of me
Acting like I’m something that I’m not
Being someone I don’t want to be
Why can’t I just go and do
The things I like to do best
Why am I so scared and of who
I shouldn’t care about the rest
Why can’t I just be the real me
And say what’s on my mind
I’m just too shy to feel that free
So I leave my opinions behind
I told myself more than once
That I’m okay the way I am
But still I can’t forget those other ones
And I don’t think I ever can
I just need more self-confidence
To be able to express the real me
Only then, I’ll come to sense
To be the me I want to be
