If I Was Really Me

If I was really me, I'd be happier you see
For happiness does lie beneath my skin
My jokes are a refrain, to ease another's pain
And I know my Design is joy within

If I was really me, then I'd let others see
That joy and pain are two-sides of a coin
We laugh instead of cry, just like we live and die
And giggles always make us want to join

If I was really me, then I would feel quite free
To share my feelings with those strange or known
Not ashamed to fail or say that I feel frail
For these are traits that show how much I've grown

If I was really me, hey wait, I AM...YIPPEE
My life is mine and that is great to know
I can love or lose, life is mine to choose
And this my vow to NOT be STATUS QUO!
