Who I'm Supposed To Be

I know things are hard now
I know things are hard to take in
I know your heart is sinking in
I know your mind is think- ing
What am I going to do?
What am I going to say?
What will I make of this day?
What will happen, what will take place?
What will I have to face?

People and their faces seem to always bring me down
They always frown upon me
They're drowning me, drowning me
Why can't I just be me

Not somebody else, I wanna be who I am what I am who I want to be
Why do they always take me down? Why do they always drag me out?
Make me who THEY want me to resemble
I don't like they way I've been assembled
I just want to tear myself apart
Show my heart, show my heart
Show who I really am

I know things are hard now
I know things are hard to take in
I know your heart is sinking in
I know your mind is think- ing
What am I going to do?
What am I going to say?
What will I make of this day?
What will happen, what will take place?
What will I have to face?

Can you help me?
I don't know who I'm supposed to be
I want to be me, but so many disguises have hidden the real underneath
I can't even think for myself
I can't even fight for myself
I can't do anything for myself because this is not me
this is not me, this is not who I'm supposed to be.

I can't really think of a title. I've been trying but haven't come up with one that seems to fit with the lyrics of the song. Could you help?

Title? Hmm...

"Who I'm Supposed To Be"?

Anyway...

This was actually very good! As usual, it's hard to find rhythm when you can't hear it, so I found a couple kinks. Just make sure it works in your tune and this will be great.

Hmm.. thanks, I think I will actually use that title. Yeah, I have a different style with songs sometimes. I sing it while I'm typing/writing it down. =) Thanks again!

Cooolll I am so glad I looked at this! I would love to hear it as a song! I can totally relate to it, and you're really, really good. When it goes:

Can you help me?

that really gets me. I love it. I love the style of it, original as well.

I felt a natural rythm as I read this, which is always a very good thing. Personally, I felt that the structure was a bit scattered. I found it hard to nail down where the chorus was. Of course, it is entirely up to how you want your song set up. I just personally like to follow a pattern. I like how the person in the song seems to be at a crossroads-they know they aren't being true to themselves, but they seem a bit afraid to do something to change that, questioning every possibility of what could happen next. Very nice job.

I'm so sorry. So sorry. I knew this girl once. I knew her.

You need to add more punctuation, The song was kinda short for me. But it was really fun to read, I enjoyed your song. But if it is a heavy metal or rock song this song is even better. LOL, I am just jokeing, but I do love metal! You desrve a star!
