Could I Be Like You?

Could I be…
Could I be like you?
Beautiful words falling from my lips
Dripping like honey off my tongue

Could I be…
Could I be like you?
Guarded in some ways
But tender inside
Mature and childish
Could I pick the truth and fiction?

Could I be…
Could I be like you?
Beaten and gentle
Broken but strong
Could I be like you?
Find strength in myself
Know no matter what I'm me
Feel that what I do is right
No matter what others think of me?

Could I-
Could I be like you?
