Just Want To Be Me

by JENNI

I was laying in my bed
and I just could not fall asleep
All these thoughts popped in my head
And those thoughts were pretty deep

I tossed and turned
I pulled off the covers
Then the covers returned
We rolled around like lovers

Someone says I should be this
Then another says I should be that
I don't care how much you insist
Thats not where I want to be at

I want to start a clear slate
Make all my own choices
You will just have to wait
I wont listen to all these voices

I don't know what is out there
I've never been on my own
If you really truly care
Then I need to be left alone

Don't tell me who to be
Don't tell me what i should do
I just need time to breathe
Once I know, I'll get back to you

I just want to be me
Thats all I can write
Thats all I can be
And now that I'm done, good night
