Don’t reveal your eyes,

Dawn them in a disguise,

Hold your head down,

But don’t frown

Smile because that’s only what the world expects.

Be true, be kind, be yourself

And watch it thrown back

Let your character haunt you

Let the glass smash

And watch your world crash

As the you that’s you is unaccepted

And the you that’s someone else is impossible to keep up.

What’s beauty because I can’t see the light?

What’s what people want – because nothing I’m doing is right?

Can I become strong – I don’t need anyone else

But I can’t become strong when I don’t accept myself.

I’m wavering in this dark place

I’m bemused by my own face

You won’t let me be

And I don’t know how to be anyone else but me.
