Walk away
Don't look back
I'm laying myself bare
For all to see
The whispers surround me
Like wind through the trees
Not understandable
But making sense
I'm laying myself bare
I can't take the hidden shame
The bottled up emotions
Everything has been inside
For far to long
Open up your eyes
Look at ME
Not my face
Not my walls
ME
Just accept me the way I am
Not as someone I'm not
I can't keep living a lie
I can't live as a mannequin
A fake doll
Having a suffocating
Plaster mask
Isn't how I was meant to live
So I'll shed this skin
Like old used clothes
I'll shed this person
Who isn't ME
You all want me to be
Someone I'm not
I only want to be MYSELF
How can I live
In a costume?
How can I live
A lie?
So, I lay myself bare
I'll finally show the real me
I put down this mask
It's stifling and unsatisfying
I take off this skin
It's uncomfortable and fake
I lay myself bare
For everyone to see
Accept ME as I AM
