Me for Me By John Carter

I am not a hamster and my life is not a wheel
I will not rely on someone else for my next meal
I will not be content to sit and wait to die alone
Or lie beside a lover who I know is not my own

I don't need a companion, only sometimes need a friend
I hold no disillusions of a lover till the end
I cannot be disloyal if there is no one to betray
And I cannot live in hope of some imaginary day

I am not afraid of stepping up or stepping down
But I will not be a savior, cannot wear this thorny crown
Maybe I am less than you believe that I can be
But love me now or love me not, try loving me for me
