I'm Me

I hold it all in
i never release
never show
the pain i hold inside

i tell you I'm happy
even great today
but
actually
I'm not

do you know this
no
you think I'm fine
i actually begin
to believe
this tender little white lie

i think I'm OK
and
actually act normal

but I'm not normal
am I?
no I'm not
stop filling me with lies

i don't know whats going on
who to believe
who to listen to

you say I'm a freak
you say I'm great
you say I'm special
you say I'm different

i say
I'm me

why cant i just be me
and
have you all understand

why cant you be OK
with the way
I am
