Being someone,
That I can't be,
For you,
Being someone
That I wanted to be,
But I can't be like that,
I can't love you,
Like being someone
That I wanted to be,
Being someone
When rain falls
As I hear a whisper call,
And having someone like you,
Being someone like you
Being someone like you,
I can't be like that,
Iam the one
Who can be the same,
Being someone
Is not me,
And sometimes,
When the sun comes down on us,
We fall over again,
Being someone like you
Never be like that,

It is hard to be what we are not - to morph into what others want us to be -  find yourself and hold true, it's a whole lot less stressful -

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

V. I agree 100 percent with Susan,  you can
never be what someone else wants.  They have
to want you for who you are,  always.

Being someone, is not me ...

Being true to ourselves is not always easy.

Your heart speaking here and you make everything clear even if it is painful.

Love, Margherita

We can't be someone we are not for another person..
We must be loved for ourselves..
Excellent write Vandana.
