People don't know the Real me.

People don't know the real me.

They just make assumptions about

Who they think I should be.

Others fill me up with doubt.

Tell me; what is the truth?

I have fought tooth

And nail to be heard,

And there is still no one listening.

The truth I can't make you believe,

It makes me want to scream and leave!

How can you do this to us,

The ones who love you?

Why do you fuss

At just only us few?

I have decided to just give in.

After all, I just can't win.

Just leave me alone.

I am done pretending to be more than I am.

It made me into a sinking stone,

So this is the end of my Slam.
