"Me Being Me"

I'm sick and tired of messing myself up
All because of someone insignificant.
Obviously, they've taken over my mind
But I would if I could do anything to help it.

The way it is, is stifling
It's like I have two hands around my neck
Or it's as if I'm being controlled by someone
Fiddling with strings attached to my back.

With the way that I have been treated by you
One would think you're negligible
Nonetheless, despite your mistreatment
All you are, to me, is tangible.

Your inconceivable actions are just as described
But I still can't grasp the hoax
It's priceless the way you think you've won
But your confidence is just a cloak.

You shroud yourself in apathy
Covering everything behind a veil
But all of your terrible initiatives
Will never hide the fact that you're frail.

Me, however, I'm pretty damn strong
And I'm not afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve
I may be a helpless romantic on the inside and out
But that's just me being me.

I'm not afraid to meander through my thoughts
Taking risks, taking chances, trying love
I'm proud of who I am, inside and out
Because if I were less, it wouldn't be enough.

If I were less, it wouldn't make me happy
If I were more, I just wouldn't be the same
If I were different, hell, I wouldn't be as fun
And I'll never take the initiative to change.

If the way I am doesn't please you
Then, please, you have the honor to leave
I'll open the door, and I'll escort you out
Because that's just me being me.
