I don't wanna be...

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please
See, not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Yes I am ME...
I am who I am!
What you see is what you get.
Think it's not enough? Think it's not what u like or want? Think I've not lived up to expectations?...All I can say is that I am just who I am and that's THAT. Not that I wouldn't change for the better just that I'm tired of having to live for the benefits or happiness of "whatever u want to put in here" of others. Not that I'm turning into some horrible self-centered creature...just that I'm tired.

Having to be living alone...apart from my source of nurturance I've learned some things now I never would have learnt if I hadn't had been in this situation now. Some freaks me out but yea...I'm still alright.
