Hiding in the shadows
Of who I'm supposed to be.
Why can't anyone accept
That this is the real me?
The person that lives for the moment.
The person that cries at night.
That outgoing, but shy person
The person who tries to please everyone
And gets nothing in return.
That person that takes the easy way
Because they are too afraid to learn.
I'm trying to find what seems
to be missing from my life.
I can't find that piece that
will once more hold me together.
I'm holding on to my dreams
Of being happy once again.
I just keep wishing that my life
Will be simple like it was back then.
Pain is reflected in my eyes.
Fear is hidden in my heart.
I decided to hide who I am right from the start.
Emotions has overtaken my life,
Controlling every move I make.
Now I only wonder
How much more of this I can take.
I keep getting lost.
Never knowing where I belongs.
Fighting to escape the past
that's filled with so many wrongs.
But first, I have to let it go
To be able to move ahead.
I have to forget everytime
That I was ever mislead.
I need to pick myself up
off the cold, wet ground.
I need to find a way
to make myself unbound.
Unbound of the lies.
Unbound of the fears.
Unbound of the pain.
Unbound of the tears.
Unbound of all the emotions
I need to learn how
To stand up tall
And not let anyone
Make me fall.
I need to be myself
And live my life my way.
I need to stand my ground
And start my new life today.
Fight my way to happiness.
Remove the tears from my eyes.
Give up the pain and torment
to all those stars in the skies.
Finally believing in the person I am
And who I was meant to be.
Because finally I'm accepting
That this is the true me.
