I Am

Such a thing I confess
Dreamlike nonetheless
I face every test head-on

Know what I'm gonna be
The sun in the sea
Of stars that'll burn themselves gone

Now I'm growing into my self-esteem
Soon it'll be growing with me
Confidence has always been the key to success

Always making sure to keep my ego checked
Head stays up, shoulders back
Even those who hunt me down, I wish them the best

I'll wait for the sun to rise, create bluer skies
And then watch as it sets, still be fine
I'll hold myself quietly, so no one can take this dream from me
Know I have to be alone when it's done

But I'm trying to be an actress and a model
Platinum writer, always outsell
Wanna surpass profit from the past
thrive in the progress

On the big screen, and behind the scenes
Be a genius, master everything
Nobody is doing what it takes to command
Just know that I, I, I, I Am

Don't know how to take a break
Fall into a darker space
If I take a step away
Somebody might take my place

Deadlines that are overdue
Asking, begging for a clue
How the hell do I get through
(living the life that you choose)

Step by step I lose my breath
Can't get a grip and
Catch up to the others
who've done more than I thought of

I'll just take more chances
Got nothing left to lose
I'm stranded alone with all this pressure
To somehow become better

I'll wait for the sun to rise, create bluer skies
And then watch as it sets, still be fine
I'll hold myself quietly, so no one can take this dream from me
Know I have to be alone when it's done

But I'm trying to be an actress and a model
Platinum writer, always outsell
Wanna surpass profit from the past
thrive in the progress

On the big screen, and behind the scenes
Be a genius master everything
Nobody is doing what it takes to command
Just know that

I am gonna see
Everything I'm trying to be
Come into my grasp naturally

Don't waste time looking down
All my plans are working out
hang in a little longer, I can see it now

Work the camera, know my angles
Get my good side, wait- it's all of 'em
I've put in the work to set a point where I'll land
Just know that I am not

Giving up myself to be adored
But how would that make sense
If I don't know who I am
Even after all these games of chance
At the end of the day, I'm only as good as what they say

I am gonna see
Everything I'm trying to be
Come into my grasp naturally

Don't waste time looking down
All my plans are working out
hang in a little longer, I can see it now

On the big screen, and behind the scenes
Be a genius master everything
Nobody is doing what it takes to command
Just know that I, I, I, I Am
