I'm Me by Pranaya(f): 2:04pm On Oct 22, 2016 |
I'm me whether I like it or not I'm me the daughter of who I am I'm me the way that I should be I'm me the world should understand Many doubts i've had in myself Many doubts I've had in my abilities Doing nothing than to second guess Trying hard not to be the second best Comparison here Comparison there Why can't you be like them they all ask Dwelling on their questions Searching for answers I push myself beyond limits Trying hard to be like them Their strengths, I observed And did all I could Forgetting I'm doing it for a world that is never satisfied With all my strengths gone and weaknessess shown I tell myself enough of second guessing I'm me whether I like it or not I'm me the daughter of who I am I'm me the way that I should be I'm me the world should understand. 22/10 26 Likes 6 Shares |

I'm me whether I like it or not I'm me the daughter of who I am I'm me the way that I should be I'm me the world should understand Indeed, these doubts wear a half reflection Of apprehensive dust upon my abilities. Self did nothing than to second guess Self Trying hard not to be the second best Comparison here Comparison there "Why can't you be like them'' ? Society asked. Morality is an axe but my mind is eternal waters What shall ye cut ? A woman ingrained in the wind ? I push myself beyond limits then became a full mirror My wings sparkled at the helm I tasted wisdom, Found strength and bowed to Self And did all I could to conquer Self Forgetting I'm doing it for a world that is never satisfied A world Always Hungry for masculine touch I tell myself enough of second guessing I am the best there could be I'm me whether I like it or not I'm me the daughter of who I am I'm me the way that I should be I'm me the world should understand.

#Pranaya, you and OtherRoom caused this o! You make me worth less Amidst those beauties, glorious about you I think you are flawless Gracefully unique in all you do I've been lured to wish a switch To walk in your shoes, see through your eyes It's a shame, I became a bi!tch Jaundiced with discontent, I skipped to realize I'm me, a child of my own mother I'm me, the way I should be The world better understand, I can't be no other Like it or not I'm me, I'm me, I'm me! Elastically, I've been stretched to go farther To be this and that, by a world that has no limit I've reached my breaking point, I can't go no further It's only natural to be me, now I rightly dig it I've gone through life differently I can't even be who I was yesterday, how can I be you? I've been white, green, pale, red, blue... I think I'm the best ever there is, possibly I'm me, the child of my own beautiful mother I'm me, just the way I should be The world better know, I can't be no other I'm me, I'm me, fu!ck it I am me!!! 10 Likes 4 Shares |

I'm me, unapologetically me I'm me, as me as could be I'm me, chin up, head high I'm me, I soar in the sky. I wasn't always this way, you know, Sometimes ago, I felt so low I struggled to accept who I really was, I was so ashamed of my flaws. I sought love and acceptance from the wrong folks, I sought care and comfort from wolves in sheep's clothes, Heartbroken, battered, bruised and scorned, Left high and dry, my past I sourly mourned. Depressed, I turned to addiction Believe me friend, it was no fiction, I lost so much and suffered, because I failed to see, Who I was, what I am, the real me. I am perfect, even in my imperfections, I'm beautiful, I'm the peak of God's creation, I stopped looking for validation in the wrong directions, And then, i learnt to forgive my past indiscretions. I'm me, unapologetically me, I'm me, Just as me as could be, I'm me, never looking down on me I'm me, foot loose, I am free. Gayle Zoe 8 Likes 2 Shares |
