To Be as They See Me

by S.J. Tyler

I didn’t think I had low self-esteem
In fact I thought I was well adjusted
But I don’t think I’m expressing well what I mean
And there’s no one around who can be trusted

I want to be a writer but I never write
An artist but I never create
Maybe I’m just too uptight
But more and more I think I’m starting too late

No matter how many ideas I think up
Or how many times I begin
The next morning when I wake up
I can’t understand a thing

Those around me have given me praise
For the silliest accomplishments
But the thoughts that are filling my days
Don’t seem to make any sense

Maybe I just can’t see what I’m on to
Or maybe I’m not actually on to anything
I wish I knew how to see through
And be the me they’re encouraging
