the me you don't see

people round me stop and stare
not because i’m beauty but because i’m weird
for skipping and singing to things that i love
for being happy
showing what i’m made of
spreading joy to those who accept it
even if i’m giving a reason to hate this
but if i can influence one person’s life
than what i do is truly mine

I am not me alone
i am the people i love
i am those i influence
by giving peace,
serenity

i don’t want a song
if i don’t grow
people are giving life
while people are dying
and not matter which
people will be crying
crying tears of happiness
of a new life
crying tears of sadness
remorsing those who died

I am not me alone
I am the people i love
those people dead or alive
and no matter what i will cry

this song is coming to an end now
but this is not goodbye
for as long as i am in your memories
I will never die


The author's comments:

i believe that the powers of memory is widely taken lightly when it comes to the lives of others and how people remeber you is always important. which is why i wanted to right an article about how i see myself and how i think others see me, and the truth behind my actions. to leave an impact on peoples memories.
