Some Say by Pamela O'Brien

Some say I'm independent
I think that I'm just scared
Trying to prove something
To someone who isn't there

Some say I'm influential
I think I'm just afraid
Of watching other people
As they are watching me fade

Some say I'm insecure
I think that's partly true
My reflection doesn't bother me
But I'm not so sure about you

Some say I'm interesting
I can't argue either way
Funny how people who don't know me
Have so much to say

I've lived my life trying to be what others want me to, trying to change me but really i don't have a problem me....

SD......
So did I. It got me even further into a vicious circle. You can't seek happiness from the approval of others when their approval makes you unhappy.
