You only see me as I appear I’m deeper than you think
Expectations trap me I don’t know what to do
Take a good look Do you see what’s inside me?
Of course you don’t You don’t see the real me
You’re blind to it You choose not to see
Just like the rest of them I’m tired of conforming I’m not being true
See me behind closed doors and you’ll see the real me
A real person With feelings, wants, and needs
My heart is beating faster You still don’t see me
If you don’t look quick I might disappear
The window is slowly closing act now before I’m gone
To late. You missed your chance
The opportunity only comes once Your turn is done
I’m not gonna waste my time trying The next person awaits me
Maybe they’ll see what you missed something that you’ll never know…
the real me!
