I'm looking back remembering
The thoughts I said to myself, never no one else
Had someone think I felt concerned, later forget what they said
Remembering remarks I made to myself, about someones appearance or how they was dressed
Always pointed out every flaw
Trying to make people think I had none
Wanted to be seen as prefect
Now I'm going to put that powerful perspective of mine on me
I'm going to point my finger at myself, point out faults I already know
Why do always feel like I have to be in the center of stage
Wanting to be the focal point of someone else
The topic of the conversation
Not concerned about anyone elses life, only my own
I've been that way so long,  it's going to be hard to change
I need to start putting other peoples feeling before my own
Start caring for someone else 
I guess by me asking how a person feels, can lead you to think I really  care
It's usually me looking for acceptance, approval from someone else
So feel better about myself, hold my head a little higher than every one else
Ones who know me best, will tell you I'm toxic
Truth be told I am
I need to start being a better someone, stop living a lie
Being someone I'm not
Start recognizing my mistakes, instead of quickly pointing out some one elses
I need to try to fix thinks broken in my life, before trying to make anyone elses better
I can start by saying what I really feel, instead what I think they want to hear
Living day to day, trying to figure out my own life
Soon hopefully learning to respect myself, being true to me
Learning how to first love myself, then everyone else
How can love anyone, if you don't love yourself
Ask me who I am tomorrow
That I'm working on today
Then I'll tell you who I really am
