You are not You


You think you are a fragile being

But you are strong

 

You think you are not good enough

But you are too good

 

You think you only bring darkness

But you leave a trail of light

 

You think

And think

And think

And think

 

You hide yourself from the world

But you are searched for

 

You hide your pain from most

But you are afraid of being hurt

 

You hide your scars from people

But they already know

 

You hide

And hide

And hide

And hide

 

You stop thinking

You stop hiding

You know you are greater than anything

We know you are greater than anything

You are not you.
