The Real Me

This song is about how it feels to always be hiding yourself away because you are scared about what others will think if they met the real you that you hide.

I walk through the crowds

All alone

People talk 

But it's not to me

It's to my clone

I am not that girl

people say hi to everyday

cause that girl

is just a part I play

she's not who I am inside

the real me she loves crowds

but she's afraid not to hide

thats not me

thats just a shadow

don't you see

me staring out the window

cause that girl 

its not me

because the girl i want to be

is not allowed to be set free 

can't you see the fake smile

I plaster on her face

can't you see 

that she's always looking out into space

why don't you know

that the real me is afraid to glow

why don't you know

it isn't the real me I show

cause that girl 

its not me

because the girl I want to be

is not allowed to be set free 

but baby if I could be

then maybe you would get to meet the real me

see my wings set free

see me reach my destiny

thats not behind these shadows

not hidden by dusty windows

maybe you'd get to meet

the real me

I'm supposed to be

I like the form of this. You don't have to follow any set form if you don't want to. I didn't know it was a song (looking back, I see you said so in the tagline, but I had skipped it! lol), but I found myself kind of singing it in my head as I read. I can imagine this to be a fairly popular song, actually, because this is something a lot of people go through. It brought me back to high school where I was dreaming of getting out so I could be the real me. Very well done :D
