Just Me Not Another

I am me

There are shadows that dance in the light

Voices that rise to hide their misery

They shout loudly

But they tremble in silence

There are shadows hiding in the smiles

Wind gusts that blow to destroy

But I am standing

Even under the storm

No need for a mask

No need for mirage

(Just Me Not Another)

No need for a golden mask

No need for false reflections

I don’t play that game

I don’t wear a mask

Not me

I am not the best person

But I’m not pretending

No need to shine with gold

To be true

To be alive

I’m not pretending

I don’t play a role

Not for a moment

Maybe I’m broken

Because I don’t lie

But I am me

(I am me)

They laugh so hard that they cover their void

Words like stones

Always so fast

But I prefer my flaws

My raw shards

Rather than a mirror

Their reflection in dispute

Sharp glances like sword blades

Words that hurt

But which are empty

Broken

I walk straight

Even on broken roads

(Just Me Not Another)

I’m not afraid to be me

Even if I sometimes fall

I am not the best person

But I’m not pretending

No need to shine with gold

To be true

To be alive

I’m not pretending

I don’t play a role

Not for a moment

Maybe I’m broken

Because I don’t lie

But I am me

(I am me)

If you want to judge me

Take an entrance ticket

Look closely

Everything is true

Nothing to hide

I am not a painting

Not a polite drawing

Just a soul

Just a scream

(Just Me Not Another)

I am not perfect

I have never claimed

But at least

My steps are mine

Never sold

I am not the best person

But I’m not pretending

No need to shine with gold

To be true

To be alive

I’m not pretending

I don’t play a role

Not for a moment

Maybe I’m broken

Because I don’t lie

But I am me

I am me

You can scream

You can lie

But one day your mirror will betray you

I sleep well

Without armor

Without anything

And that’s my strength

Because in the end, that’s my destiny
