CONCEALED BY MY MASK.


I have done the things THEY want me to do.

I have loved the people THEY want me to love.

I have concealed myself with things that carry false pretenses.

I have changed everything i am for THEM.

I have become desperate to fit in.

I have betrayed my morals. I have transformed my outlook on life.

I have abandoned my dreams.

I have obsessed with love... being loved.

I have settled.

I have turned into the person THEY want me to be.

 

I AM NOT ME.

 

I am an avid daydreamer.

I am obsessed with the thought of true love.

I am a dork in every way i am constantly worried about my future.

I am compassionate to the point of tears.

I am constantly struggling to let people in.

I am surrounded by trust issues.

I am a perfectionist.

I am a believer.

I am beautiful.

I am unique.

I AM ME.
