Me

I just wanna be me,
Untamed like the sea,
I wish I could fly,
High above sky,
With no one to stop me,
From what I can be,
But I wanna stay here,
Leaving my family is my fear,
I am still free,
And untamed like the sea,
With loved ones around me,
Who protect and surround me,
I am better with my family,
Where we are we,
With my family I as calm as a dove,
That’s what matters cause it’s true love,
