Can’t be me when I want to be
As I stare into the light,
I can see my life,
As I can see all the flaws,
From my life to how I look
How I feel
How I see
The things around me change
But I stay the same
Plain old me
With no future seen
Through the mirror glass ball
That stands on the table
You believe it is true
All the lies people spread
And shun me out
Send me away
So I hardly see you
To this day.
I try and change
But only into someone that is not me
I don’t want to be someone I’m not
But that is why I stopped the act
Because people should like me for whom I am
And not who I act out to be
The shy little girl
With no one for back up
Except her family.
I never wanted to act shy
But I find it hard to talk
Because of being judged
And what people will think about me
So I shun away
But it is tearing me up inside.
