Hiding

Living, breathing

But not truly alive

Behind a curtain 

Of lies, insecurity, fear

 

Who am i?

Am i who i say i am?

Or the scared girl behind her curtain 

Scared

Of what people will think

Of the real me

 

My parents won't understand

My friends will leave me

I have to stay behind my curtain 

I'm too different 

But

I'm just the same 

The same as you

 

See we all have a curtain

that we hide behind 

It's time to step out 

Be free

Be who i was meant to be 

Act I: Behind the curtain

Act II: The unveiling
