I Don't Believe...

I don’t believe

I used to believe there was so much inside me

That was bursting to come out

To see the worldI used to believe

That I could make a difference

To someone

Somewhere

Sometime

I used to believe that someone would appreciate me

The way I would appreciate him

That what was inside of me

Would shine

The way others shined on me

I used to think that I could start anew

A clean slateWherever I went

Far away where no one knew

Me and my past

I used to think I could create a new face

And that people could see past it

And look inside my heart

My mindI tried so hard

To be someone else

To be the people around me

And always failedBut yet being myself

Will never be enough

I will never shineJust being me.
