The True Me:

Location

 

The true me:

I truly couldn't see

who I was

truly can’t see

who I am

what I’m meant to be

cause I feel nothing but the darkness that resides in me

I’m never myself, because I don’t know whoever that person is……

I lie to everyone including myself

I’m delusional because i can fool myself

into thinking I’m free, into making them think that this is me

but in my honest reality

I’m locked up inside, my conflicting, sick and twisted mind

telling myself everything is fine,

“you're not out of your judgement”

“people will love you, and accept you for you!”

But sadly that’s the one thing I can’t convince myself to believe.

To do.

Be me.

the true me is so far gone

I don’t think she will ever return

so I smile and laugh

tell jokes

and bury my sadness deep inside

my sorrow, my pain

and try to really be the person i portray

but when its just “me”

I’m in the most pain, so i choose to be someone else

even when I’m alone with myself

So im putting on a show, hiding behind this huge curtain

Not just for others, but for Me,

the person I hide behind

I guess is the true me
