I Am

I AM MANIC I AM SANE
BRUSED AND BROKEN BY TRUST, HAUNTED BY WHO I WAS
I AM NORMAL, I AM STRANGE
I AM PERFECT BUT WRONG, I’M THE WORDS TO A SONG
AND I STAY INSIDE MY MIND
AND I’M STANDING HERE BUT STILL SO HARD TO FIND

YOU CAN LOOK AT ME OR JUST TURN AWAY
I WON’T BE DEFINED BY THE WORDS PEOPLE SAY
I MAY BREAK I MAY BEND BUT I THINK I’M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
I AM

I’M CONFLICTED, I’M AT PEACE
BEEN ABANDONED AND LOVED, THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING UP
I’M ENTANGLED, BUT I’M FREE
I AM RANDOM AT TIMES, FOCUSED AND UNDEFINED
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY
I’M SO NOT THERE, BUT EVERY DAY I TRY

YOU CAN LOOK AT ME OR JUST TURN AWAY
I WON’T BE DEFINED BY THE WORDS PEOPLE SAY
I MAY BREAK I MAY BEND BUT I THINK I’M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
I AM

I’M A CHILD, I’M TOO OLD
I AM SHY, I AM BOLD
I’M A HYPOCRITE BUT DON’T MEAN IT
GIVE ME LOVE GIVE ME HATE
IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE
BUT I WILL STILL BE ME

YOU CAN LOOK AT ME OR JUST TURN AWAY
I WON’T BE DEFINED BY THE WORDS PEOPLE SAY
I MAY BREAK I MAY BEND BUT I THINK I’M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE
I AM
