Self Portrait



Many things I’ve tried
And the one thing I’m not
Is the very thing you want me to be

Many things I’ve left behind
To try and prove myself
And found that life was empty

So I fight
To be what I’m not
Just so you’ll love me

And I strive
And work the ground
Growing weary of this journey

But you say,
“You don’t need to do that.”
You say,
“You never did.
I love you despite it all
And just want to be a friend.”

So I’m tossing aside my mask
And accepting to cling to me
Tearing back the curtain
To become the man I’m meant to be
