Let Me Be Myself

I added a texture to this but this is JUST Vonne, Nothing fancy or Photoshopping done to this image. I guess I am feeling a bit well… see below, enough Said ; )

Song can Be Heard Here

“Let Me Be Myself” By 3 doors Down

I guess I just got lost
Bein’ someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

Lately i’m so tired of waiting for you
To say that it’s ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself

I’ll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I’ll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It’s time to make my way
Into the world I knew
Take back all of these times
That I gave in to you

Lately i’m so tired of waiting for you
To say that it’s ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don’t mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

That’s all i’ve ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me

Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don’t mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time… oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me

    There is an impossible beauty in honesty – word or image – which transcends all. The tiny bit of PP doesn’t detract, An image of a real person, frozen in time. Shots like these are like Rorschachs. So I’ll take my shot, as is my right :) In those deep eyes I see experience which far transcends your years. I see awareness, but something emotive is with held. I see a casting off of drama, a narrative in image.

    Just being yourself, is a pretty nice place for a moment, maybe three,
    The face of the artist, sitting, quiet, maybe even serene,
    Taking a break, from the intensity of imagination, and creativity,
    Just be yourself…..find your heart…..be free.

    You seem to have an awful lot of fans Vonne (Yvonne?). You remind me of me. It’s not always easy to break away, just a bit, to be yourself. Every time I try, I get accussed of being egoistic/ egocentric. Hey! I want to live too before the curtain falls. You are an attractive woman and no doubt quite strong, spritually. Go for it! Live the live you need, live the life you deserve. Live your life.

    Days been hard,
    Days been great
    Completed with all I learned..

    Thoughts of mine
    Reached the experience,
    Got the peace with another light
    Inside of me, sparkling bright…

    Through the darkness
    Out there, invisible..
    Through the knowledge
    Inside of me…
    Belongs to the place
    Where I came from.

    Inside,
    Carrying a stubborn thoughts,
    Simply made myself until
    Today…

    Today was;
    Just a vision
    In my dream
    That I saw yesterday
    For tomorrow…
