Draw the Curtain

Society has a built a curtain for me


Outside the curtain, Im what society wants to see


I'm a quiet, get the job done, don't show any type of emotion young adult


I try not to take it as an insult but society is its own cult


I want to yank back that curtain


I am almost certain its that time


I want them to see who I truly am


Society hasnt seen a person like me yet, count on that!


When I draw back that curtain


They will see a ambitous, humorious, independent,beautiful soul, goal driven young lady


But its not time yet to draw back that curtain


I am not ready to sacrifice myself yet


I dont know why I care what they think


Its probably cause I have been used to hiding


BUT its what they expect and thats what counts to get you up in life


At least thats what the world shows


A few years down the road,


I WILL let that curtain go though
