Just Me... & Me & Me

If I am just me, how can I be
A mother, a wife, a sister, a friend?
Can I be here if I need to be there;
Where does it start and where does it end?
How can I know what I must do
To fill all my roles while staying sane too?
When can I stop, take a moment to breathe?
I need to figure this out
Because I need some relief!

Hungry for More

Can I be your little girl
That you'll love and adore?
Oh can't I be
-So you'll give me more and more!

I thrive on all the attention
Whether it's good or bad or both.
I hope, so badly hope
You admire me.

I want to be your struggling hero
I want a medal
To acknowledge my journey
And success-

Am I not successful?
Am I not so great?
I know I am
-Oh, but please, please, tell me so!
