Hopelessly lost
In someone I'm not.
Changing and shifting
For others. I'm caught
In this body
that is not my own.
New people, new me,
Until cover is blown.

I want to be Real
I want to be Me.

I want acceptance
and to be cherished.
I want to be loved
by others, but not
when this body
is so far from my thought.
I want to be loved but
not for who I am not.

I want to be Real
I want to be me.

I am most beautiful
when I am just me.
I want to be loved
only for me.
I don't want love
for someone I'm not.
I'll be who I am
who I was truly was wrought.

I will be Real
I will be me.
I will be who He made me to be.

I want to be real. Recently I've been struggling with being myself despite of what others think.
