Her, Him, Me

There are times
Reminiscing about
How it should been
If it’s not about you
If it’s about me
If only I could speak my mind
Telling I want no part of this
Telling I want things my way
Telling I’m not her
Telling I’m not him
Telling I want a role
Telling I want to be,
Only me
Begging some moments
For you to notice me then
But no
Courage I seek
Failed me...
Living a dream
Masquerading an image
Perfect in your eyes
Emptiness inside
Blaming, is not the aim
Expressing the feeling
Searching for guts
To end the misery
To say and demand only me
To sketch my history
Though it’ll look messy
But I’ll be happy
For it will be me
And you, to see....
