I don't know what to do I feel so scared I just wanna be myself I just wanna live my life Why can't I just do that? Why do people keep judging me? Why can't they just accept me for who I am And not for the one I appear to be? I'm trying so hard But it feels like I hit wall after wall Every step I take feels heavy Every breath I take feels small I look in the mirror And I'm finally starting to see The woman I've been fighting to be Let me be Let me grow Let me stand here And let my truth show I'm not a mask I'm not a lie I'm learning how to take back my life Call me by my name Look into my eyes See my heart I am enough I am real This is me This is how I feel Being yourself shouldn't be this hard Maybe they don't understand Maybe they never will But I won't hide away again I was born to live this way Every scar Every moment All the tears Has brought me here And I deserve to take up space To live in my truth And find my place I'm not a mask I'm not a lie I'm stepping out to claim my life Call me by my name I am here I am enough This is me This is how I feel Being yourself shouldn't be this hard But I'll keep on going I won't fall apart
