Just Be Me

"Carter Wills"

Maybe I'm not quite what you want,
fallen short of the plans you have for me.
But I'll tell you now, and listen well,
for I never shall be what you want me to be.

I'm happy enough as I am now,
with my own hands at life’s reigns.
And I don't need you perched upon my shoulder,
trying to direct all my things.

Maybe I didn't turn out the way you saw,
and ended up nothing like your dreams.
But I'll say it now, once again for the road,
you have no control over my means.

I love myself as I stand for now,
and the life I live so lovely.
And I don't care whatever it is you want,
for I'm just going to be me
