Show Time

The reason why I hide behind the curtain, I don’t know
Fear of being exposed to those that pose as people who care
Maybe revealing who I am will be like a breath of fresh air
But am I ready to show the world who I really am?
Will people even try to understand?
Quote on quote friends as I call it
Said they knew me and I would always fall for it
Once those “friends” are all gone
Who is left for me to depend on?
Not being able to realize that I don’t need to find myself through them
My family looks at me and tells me that they see a glistening gem
But with all that I’ve been through I find it hard to believe them
I’ve been waiting on the day where somebody would tell me that they love me
Not noticing that the love is right there in front of me
The curtain has blocked my vision from a lot things
But now it’s time for me to blossom like a flower in the spring
Leaving everything that’s past in the past
Now it’s time to put on my OWN show at last
As the curtains open, there’s no more hiding for me
It’s time to show out and follow my dream
