We are who we are until the day we die

I do believe the worst feeling I've experienced

Is being upset about something

When you know you shouldn't be.

When you know that it's no big deal

And you should just toughen up and get over it.

Maybe it's something that happened a long time ago

That you've never let go of for good.

Or maybe it's just something stupid that wouldn't make sense to others.

Lately I've been feeling this a lot.

And I know I complicate that more than the average person.

Why do I hold on to things I know should be long forgotten?

Why must I get offended so easily?

Why am I so sensitive to every little thing people say about me?

I wish these weren't qualities of mine, but that's the real me.

Which is another thing bothering me at the moment.

People are acting different lately; not being their true selves.

And there's no point in being someone you're not.

You can only hide from yourself for so long until you're found.

So why would I try to fake who I am?

I'm not changing, this is me, take it or leave it.
