I've Built a Dam
I am not who you think I am
I've put up a wall with no doors for you to open
To keep you out, I've built a dam
You see what I want, but I'm really a wide ocean
I keep me closed off like a clam
Never letting you see my deepest dark emotions.
What do you see, looking at me?
A smiling, chocolate haired girl bearing wide coffee eyes
Who talks as much as a buzzing bee
You all say I'm the kind of person who never cries
The sort to climb high up a tree
But under my skin, which are my truths and which are my lies?
Maybe one day I'll let it out
Peel away the skin and let you see inside my head
For now though I have my doubts
About letting you know how often my eyes are red
How much I hate the lively crowds
How much I hate to talk, the anxiety, the dread.
I'm sure I'm not the only one
There is always a piece of us that we never share
Like just knowing part of the sun
We want each other's secrets, not just the clothes we wear
Maybe it's not for the lies we've spun
It's simply human nature to always try and care.
So why do I want to hide away?
It's a crazy world, muddled as ashes in a tray.
