Dark flowing velvet wrapped around my face

A hidden gypsy within a vase

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

So many people, so many voices

All point and stare at me

Like a creature within the deep

I was a liar and a thief

Each time my soul broke a little more

I can’t settle my heart, I trust no one

I’m scared; I am lost, unsure of which way to turn

Only knowing I can’t go back

I have hidden beneath my mask for too long

Now it is time that everyone sees me for who I am

I am human, I have made mistakes

I am not perfect, no one is

I have done wrong, been very stupid

But within I have changed for the better

Sought the light, fought the dark

I tried to fit in, be the person everyone wanted

But to no end I have failed

To be seen without my veil

So on I push against the forceful current

To be myself and not want others want to see
