Myself

I can’t even feel myself

Wherever I go I’m hiding

My own identity, and

Being so different to what

I am on the inside

But nobody knows

I wish I could feel like myself

Be my truest self, show

The world what a person I am

When I’m just too scared

A coward hiding for my life

And all of my life

Tired, worn out from the lies

Pretending to be someone else

Because I know that deep down

No one will accept me if I show them

Who I really am, but I don’t care about

Being accepted, I just want to be me

But I can’t be me

Once they find out

They will recoil

And I will

Have no one

Forever

So I condemn myself

And I lie

To myself

Thinking it makes

Everything

Better
