Can you see me?
See me for who I really am,
Not who you want me to be?
I try to be like you,
Then I realize something,
I'm not.
I am nothing,
Nothing other than something.
Nothing but myself.
I will not change,
Nor will you change me.
I shall beat this.
You may be in my mind,
But not in my heart.
You are nothing.
Nothing but that,
Which brought me joy,
Or used to...
I can see you,
The real you.
Behind the masks...
Behind the masks,
You are nothing
But afraid.
For if others
Saw the real you,
They would not trust it.
Shutting the door,
To you soul.
I saw this before...
In myself.
Open the door,
Unlock the gates.
Trust in yourself.
For taking off the masks,
Shows that which lies,
Within.
Perfection.
