Being Me

The world can be a hard, cruel place

It throws tribulations into our face

Some of us fall into a pit

And then give up, that's all, that's it

I have fallen into this as well

Thought I was up high, but then I fell

I tried to climb up with my hands and feet

But the obstacles in my way couldn't be beat

So I sat there crying, giving up all that there was

Wanting to disappear, that's what depression does

But someone helped me out of the dark

Touched my heart and lit a spark

I learned a lesson that helped me through

All my troubles and my blues

It's that living isn't about being pretty or smart

Life is all about following your heart

Don't listen to what others want you to be

It's your own choice to be you and free
