Why can't I be the person who others see?

And why do I hide behind false truths?

I just want to see who I am, and what I could be

But I'm so afraid I won't recognize myself

And that's so sad, not knowing who I am

I just hope I'm not the only one feeling this

Surely if I hide myself others do too, but why?

It always comes back to 'why?'



Why can't I just let go and let my walls break?

And why do I stand behind the only comfort I know?

I know the only way to change is with work

But I'm so scared to let others see

What if I show them and they turn away

What if I live my life like the way I'm living it today

Just help me lose this insincerity and hollowness

I don't want to come back to 'why?'



Not to why I didn't change

But to why it took so long to

I don't want to live my life this way

I don't want to live my life not being me

I just need some time to straighten this all out

I just need some time to myself

And maybe, just maybe a little help
