Maybe I just want to be seen
To be loved the way you love
Just a little child's' dream
But I could never be enough
Could I?
Cause I was too much,
And too little at the same time;
Cuz I was sweet as sugar
But as sour as lime;
Wasn't I?
And so I learnt to cry in the midnight
Cuz I worried that you'll worry for me,
But that night I was showed a light
That burnt all my sympathy;
No more do I care to be thought of,
No more I crave for your love
I don't need you to be proud of
Neither do I want to be cared of,
Learnt i'm better of alone.
I'm better when im my own,
And i learnt, little by little,
I couldn't be loved cuz i was middle,
But as the truth came to view
I learnt i didn't care-
middle finger for you
And i've never been more at peace;
Since i learnt to live without your consent
Made a mistake that i won't repeat
When i learnt to be-
Unapologetically myself
Since I learnt to live like me
Don't need no love to set me free
You may seek for me, now i dont for you
Cuz I may be no ones' But Im my own
I'm the captain of my sea
The ruler of the ship i set free
Since I've learnt to be-
Unapologetically me

Being yourself has its benefits an its consequences but in the balance it is better to be oneself than a facade and phony. Nicely done.
