Just Me For Me

 Just Me For Me

If I keep a shield around how I feel

No one can use me against me

I’d be invincible as only I can hurt me

If you can’t read my emotions like before 

You’re either not paying attention now

Or I finally learned to hide it well

Maybe if you don’t know how I’m feeling 

You will just keep on being

Move along then I’ll pick up myself 

And maybe come around. 

I’d no longer block my own way

I’d no longer strike myself down

I wouldn’t limit myself to anything

I’d no longer feel less than best 

I’d no longer permit control 

I wouldn’t limit myself to anything 

I’ll survive with just me for me

I’ll be cool with just me for me

I’ll know peace with just me for me

I’ll shine bright with just me for me 

I wonder what changed first

Your genuine interest in me or my change in spirit 

At this point we’re far too intertwined to know

I can’t wonder what you’ll do without me

I can’t allow myself to care that much 

As that compassion would just be exploited 

If you can’t emote me to submit then

You’ve no tether to control

I’d be free of anyone to blame

Other than me for me

I’d no longer block my own way

I’d no longer strike myself down

I wouldn’t limit myself to anything

I’d no longer feel less than best 

I’d no longer permit control 

I wouldn’t limit myself to anything 

I’ll survive with just me for me

I’ll be cool with just me for me

I’ll know peace with just me for me

I’ll shine bright with just me for me
