Who I'm Suppose to Be

This is dedicated to every teen or young adult who is trying to figure themselves out. We've all been there, hang in there.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

All wild and crazy.

The strange behavior,

Acting out and being all zany.

That's not who I'm supposed to be.

I'm a regular teen

A bit rebellious.

Maybe a bit of a follower

But I do mostly as I'm told, to respect.

Is that who I'm suppose to be?

I feel I can't make mistakes.

Like I should have been perfect from the start.

I feel like experience shouldn't have taught me.

Like I should have known from birth.

Was that how it was suppose to be?

Well, I'm me.

I'm tall, lean, yet more than georgeous.

A beautiful personality and mind.

Taught to do right by myself and others.

Can't that be who I'm suppose to be?

Yes, it can be me!

I cand be what I want to be and when.

I can mess up and fix myself up.

I'm me and that's all anyone can ask.

That's exactly who I'm suppose to be!
