The Me Behind the Curtain

Hiding behind the curtain is me

Never ever truly feeling free

My only wish is for others to see

How much I struggle to remain me

 

Drowing in a sea of expectations

While everyone around me is breathing

Let alone I cannot break free from my preceeding reputations

This all leaves me screaming

 

In the middle of the night is when I break

It seems that nothing more can I take

But when the mornings break

I once again begin to fake
