Paint me a picture
Of how my life would be
If I were somebody else
Instead of me

Would it be in bright colors?
Would it be full of life?
Or would it be dull and drab?
Still full of strife?

I think I'll still be me
If it's all right with you
I like being me.
Will you be yourself, too?

I'll paint a picture
Of how I'll be
While I'm being
Me.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be to be someone else instead of me. I doubt it would be much better.

This sounds like a children's book! It's adorable, I really like the rhyming!
