Trapped


Life is just not easy, no matter what everyone else says

Make up your own mind about what  you want, become yourself 

Fear does not define who you are, you are defined by what is true

Make yourself known to the world, let them see the real you 

Do not hide from your mistakes for they help you find the truth in life 

Stand up for yourself, be heard

People will judge you for who you are, let them

People fear themselves, they fear the truth

Fear is a capsule, small and dark and alone

You are trapped, and begin to drown in your own sweat

Short of breath, you fear for your life

Why can't they help me, I'm in plain sight.
