am i your shame,
the one that does not reflect?
the broken looking glass?
but i am me,
no one else!
no matter how hard you wish,
you cannot fix this me!
i walk a different tempo,
talk another beat,
and my melody is unique.
but why does that matter?
can you not forget,
and remember the tune?
why should i have to lose,
to win what shouldn't have to be?
for me,
can't you?

The author's comments:
First of all, yes there shouldn't be any capitals. When I first wrote I wad in the car angry at my dad, so my only way of writing was through text draft. And secondly, I guess that's it actually.
