What Stands Behind The Curtain

Someone smiling and someone shy.
Someone who can just be seen pass by. 

I'm described as someone whos quiet and smart. 
Someone who's involved in music and art. 

Does anybody see who's behind this mask? 
Who's standing behind this long curtain? 

Behind there is someone who sings when she's alone. 
Someone who writes, draws, and sketches non stop when she's in the 'zone'. 

Someone who dances like crazy. 
And sometimes is a bit lazy. 

I'm someone who in reality, loves talking.
I'm not someone who will just pass you and keep walking. 

Why do I hide myself? 
Why is my real personality stacked up and hidden in a shelf? 

It's today's society.
Who most of the time don't appreciate variety. 

It's because I'm afraid to shatter the camera owned by them, that only pictures perfection. 
And just like that I'm afraid of rejection. 

Today's society wants 'normal', thin, makeup, and someone without a single flaw. 
Someone like that is what leaves society at a awe. 

That's not me. 
All I want is to set my true self free.
