I Need To Be Me Poem by Gordon David

I want to be me, I need to be me

For that I refuse to apologise

I’ve broken the chains that kept me tied down

No consent needed to watch a sun-rise

I have to be me, I’ve got to be me

You know, deep down inside, that this is true

You say that you love me, just let me go

Free my mind, and perhaps I’ll still love you

Nothing I did was good enough for you

You always thought that I was a dreamer

Dreaming that you’d say those three little words

I was your pupil, you were my teacher

There is still love for you here in my heart

Please let me be me, I need to be free

I don’t intend to run away from you

I just need to be set free and be me

Come with me, take my hand, I’ll lead the way

Sometimes in life, we have to take a chance

Stop trying to keep up with the Jones'

May I have the pleasure of the next dance

Can you hear the music playing our song

Que sera sera, what will be will be

No more chains tying us down anymore

We need to be free, I need to be me
