Inside I Hide

Why try
Why accept
Why lie
Why prevent 

They say “Be who you are“
They say “Don’t be so scarred”
I hear “Be who they want”
I hear “Be what they desire”

I’m tired 
I’m sick
I’m fragile 
I’m tricked 

Why give up 
Why give in 
Why give them 
Why give anyone 

They say “Be who you are“
They say “Don’t be so scarred”
I hear “Be who they want”
I hear “Be what they desire”

I’m fed up 
I’m over it 
I’m done trying 
I’m slowly dying
