Being Me

Tilly Rivers

I look in the mirror

And I wonder why

Why did I change?

I was fine just the way I was

Yet in the name of love

I thought I had to be different

I want me back

I want to be free

I am worthy of love

Just by being

ME

I look in the mirror

I see pain

In the name of love

I let you hurt me

I am pain

Love is not painful

It does not lie or betray

Why am I letting this happen to me?

When did it begin?

How did something start out so right-

Only to end up a poisonous bite?

I look in the mirror

Time for change

Love is not at fault

I thought ..if only..

Instead of knowing

I am worthy of love

Just by being

ME!
