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

A classic case of beating yourself up. I find that really sad. Even when you are yourself, others don’t always accept you. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Have a beautiful day. I enjoyed reading you.
Thank you very much!
Although at times it is very difficult to do, you have to be you. The only thing any of us can really be in control is who we are as people, it`s hard but stick with it. A sad poem but i am glad i read it, Take Care
Thank you so much. I agree it's hard.
