My Place
Sometimes I feel I have no place
I don’t belong; I’m just a face
There are things I’ve been taught
And feelings I’ve fought
How those two Worlds collide
The one we all live in; and the one some hide
This battle, I know, comes from within
And it is one I am determined to win
What’s the best choice for one and for all
Do I follow what’s “right”
Or let my feelings make the call?
Is it a choice between wrong and right?
Is it something I need to fight?
I am a good person just living my life
As a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife
I want those I love to like who I am
I want to belong, please take my hand
Show me you see more than my face
Tell me you love me, and I will find my place
