The Real Me

I've been covering my life up

I didn't want people to see

I thought I could leave it all behind

Then nobody would know the real me

But I've decided I want people to know

Who I really am deep down

I just don't know how to escape

And I fear I may soon drown

If I could figure out who I really am

Then maybe I'll be set free

But for now I'm left to suffer

And from my problems, I cannot flee

So as I wait for things to improve

I'll try and discover the real me

Not the mask I used to hide behind

But the person I know I can really be
