Myself and Me

Most people think I am fine within myself.

I would love to tell them how I really feel about

All the turmoil in my heart and head

And my priorities.

I wish I had a folder so they were easier to see.

Such a hypocrite, that's what I am.

Oh no, but please don't judge me!

I smile and do the things they say,

When on the inside I'd like to:

Smash my head against the wall

And maybe yours as well.

Oops, I'm really sorry,

In case you couldn't tell.

She says I look unfriendly, unapproachable,

And mean,

But accepted and included is what I really want to be.

Won't anyone love me?

(As long as you're meeting the criteria, let's see here…)

I'm just kidding, I'm fine all by myself.

That's what I want you to see.

You don't need to know the inside;

That's between MYSELF and ME.
