Let me be Me

By worldunknown31

I DON’T WANT TO BE A HERO
I DON’T WANT TO BE KING
I DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU
JUST LET ME BE ME

YOU DON’T NEED TO JUDGE ME
I DON’T LOOK UP TO YOU
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK DOWN ON ME

DON’T CATEGORIZE ME BY MY TATTOOS
DON’T CATEGORIZE ME BY MY FACE
DON’T CATEGORIZE ME BY THE THINGS I DO
DON’T CATEGORIZE ME BY MY RACE

IF I DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU
IM THE ONE WHO’S STRANGE
GET YOUR THOUGHTS TOGETHER
GET THEM REARRANGED

YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN SECRETS
THE WHISKEY AND THE WEED
YOU’RE A FUCK’N CRACKHEAD
DON’T LOOK DOWN ON ME

I JUST LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST
WHILE YOU LIVE IN A BIG ASS LIE
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE IN SECRET
AND THEN YOU WONDER WHY

LIVE YOUR LIFE IN WORRIES
HOPING YOU WON’T GET CAUGHT
YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE SNEAKING AROUND
CAN’T THINK OF THE AFTERTHOUGHT

YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE TO JUDGE ME
YOU FUCK’N HYPOCRITE
YOU DON’T NEED TO JUDGE ME
JUST LET ME LIVE LIKE THIS

YOU LOOK DOWN ON OTHERS
CAUSE WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON THE OUTSIDE
YOU DON’T NEED TO JUDGE ME
BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST AS CROOKED IN THE INSIDE

Judging are for those who don't want to know what's beneath the surface. Just because we're different doesn't mean we don't feel. But that's the only reason I fake my happiness, cause im sick of being judged and yet I still am. So I guess I'm a hypocrite as well.

I try not to judge others because we're all human, and no one is infallible. I can understand where you come from with this. I think you're a bright poet with a wonderful future ahead. 10.
