Being Found

Who am I?
Where am I going?
How do I get there?
These are my questions
They make me lay awake in fear.

I hang with lots of people
So I have lots of faces.
Put on different masks
For different places.
They don’t know that I’m unhappy
But just face it,
That’s how well I can fake shit

I know who I was,
And where I’ve been
But what am I now?
What’s this costume I’m in?

People often suggest
What to do.
And what they say
Is what I choose.
I’ve lost my character,
Lost my voice.
Now that’s all I am:
A character who makes no noise.

True to me I’ve always tried to be
But everyone fails to see
It’s an incomplete me
Not the real me
The free me
The me I am when I’m dreaming

So see me
Save me
Take this fraud façade
Away please
Yes take it!
Break it!
Start me over!
Unmake it!

I’m through being a shadow
Being lost is done
No more will I follow
No longer will I run
Now it’s time for business
This world will I stun
I know I’ll win this
My change has already begun
