Just me

I ask myself what do I want?
I don't get an answer.
I ask myself what I want to be?
I don't get an answer.

In a starry night,
When loneliness crawls,
But the soft calm air smoothes,
I close my eyes while feeling
The sky, I ask myself again.

And this time,
My stubborn self sitting on my shoulder says,
I want to be free like a bird,
I want to shine the brightest amongst all,
I want to cherish small joys instead of loud temporary happinesses,
I want to be,
Just me without any inhibitions.

So now I know,
What I want,
So now I know,
I want to be just me.
