Choose Me 2020 By Steven Skelley In the seventh grade Everything seems like such a big deal You’re judged by things Like a brand of jeans Or your mom and dad’s wheels It’s a jigsaw world Where puzzled boys and girls Try to fit in And everybody thinks Choose me When it came to fun All the gifted ones Got to choose sides The rest all feared That they’d not hear Their name called in time Being left alone In a crowd is known To break a young heart When every heart says Choose me Choose me I’ll be so good for you Choose me Don’t break this heart in two I want to be the one you need Just call out my name Choose me On a TV screen I watched a scene From an orphanage home The kids sat there In a sort of quiet despair At being left all alone When I looked in their eyes I could almost hear their cries For a place to fit in As their yearning hearts cried Choose me Choose me I’ll be so good for you Choose me Don’t break this heart in two I want to be the one you need Just call out my name Choose me As a grown man now I'm no more like a bough Blown in the breeze No more do I bleed From a painful need To constantly please I am now at peace I've made my mind cease To want to fit in More importantly I now know I must be Comfortable in my own skin All the steps that I take And the choices I make Erase any childish need And now whenever I Need one on which to rely I feel confident to simply choose me Copyright Steven Skelley 2020
