Let Me Be
I am tired of many things...
Untrue love
The lack of respect
Most of all I am tired of falling down and being forced back on my feet

Sometimes I want to stay down for a bit
Why should I have to regain composure so quickly
Is it not my life to live as I see fit

If I choose to remain on the ground does that make me...
Less of a man
Undesirable
Weak in the eyes of the world

If so then let me be weak, undesirable, half a man...
Just for a moment at least
Until I decide to pull myself up
To regain my composure
To put on that strong face yet again
