What It Is To Be Me

i have never known how to wear a mask
for me that's simply an impossible task
i don't know how to play social games
so don't bother if you're going to ask

i will never learn how to cheat and lie
and i don't know how to fake a sigh
what you see is what you get with me
and if that's no good i would rather die

But i don't always show the same face
sometimes my mood is all over the place
shake your head and call me some fool
i am already used to being a disgrace

i am also no good at any diplomacy
they say i am too demanding so crazy
it's not lke that i just know what i want
i'll roll over you if you're mentally lazy

i am called unyielding and self obsessed
but i really feel that i have been blessed
even if sometimes it's more like a curse
at least with me you won't have to guess

But i do believe there is someone above
who doesn't approve and yet gives me love
it's like the whole universe is pressuring me
to deny i'm an eagle and pretend i'm a dove
