I hid behind the simper and titter
that didn\'t belong to me
I impersonated many characters
forgot my vocal timbre
Each cloak more constricting
until I couldn\'t breathe
I wore them -
so everyone else felt at ease
The variant of me that didn\'t weep too much
didn\'t bawl too loud
didn\'t ask for explanations
I got good at posing
no one saw the cost
When it all crumbled
When I finally stood alone
Nothing left behind me
Only then -
Could I be **** ME!!!!
