Not Me
Don't be afraid to be yourself
Thats what they say
But what if they you you are is not wanted?
Parents despise the real you without knowing
Never truely one's self
For if the roof caved in and the truth came out they would be disgusted with you
Friends?
Never
You must keep that mask on as well
Mask
Fake
False
Hidden
Lies
Soon you yourself you shall lose
Becoming all those falsities
Becoming what others want not what you are
A caged bird forced to be a certian way
Longing to be the free dragon that rules the sky
Why cannot I just be me?
Please
Let me be myselff
No
I do not want to act that way
I want to be me
Fine
Just for now
Yet just for now turnes into future
Future turns into life
And life turns into forever
And you lose yourself.
