I love this song by Gavin Degraw.
It actually speaks to what I have been feeling for awhile. I am ALWAYS so worried about what my friends and family are thinking about choices i make or things I am doing, and it is exhausting and I am tired of it. I want to be ME and they will either take me or leave me I suppose, and I will be ok with that as long as I stay true to myself..
Here are the lyrics.
I Don't Want to Be
by Gavin DeGraw, from the album "Chariot"
I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by an identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation - made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

Thanks for posting the lyrics to this song and sharing a bit of how you have been feeling. I appreciate your honesty and authenticity in your posts. It sounds to me like you're still strugging a bit with past decisions and concerns over what others are thinking about you. I hope that through your blog and through your art you will find peace and a release from worry. As someone who has been in recovery for over nine years, I know it is possible.
