All That I Am

I had this moment of clarity
It took awhile
I can’t say that it was easy
I mean you look at me
But what is it that you really see?

You have these images of what you want
When I let one break
Well, that view changes
Don’t you see how much that is to uphold?

When you think about it, you don’t really know me
I mean I’ve been with you my whole life
Yet others know more
You put so much weight
You wonder why we can’t communicate

I can’t be what you want
I can only be me
You have to realize
That all I am
Is everything I want
