The real me?
I am not who I thought I was.
Believe me,
You can't change who i am now because
I am free.
Under the curtain I have been washed
In the sea.
My fake personality has been squashed.
I was once naked because it used to be enough
To bear it all bare with not much else but a smile in your eyes and a thought on your tongue
There was once a girl born into a world that let’s children live in their imagination,
But as she grew there were restraints put on her dreams,
Hiding behind a maskExisting only behind a curtainComplete with smoke and mirrorsDon't we all?Trying to be perfect
You do not know me.
You only know the parts of me I have shown you
And what a shallow view that is
It's staring into a puddle and thinking it the ocean
I keep it this way
To win your favor
