Myself

This is more so about the persona, or the mask I wear around other people with the expectation to always be happy & perfect.

 Am i not happy enough for you

would you like me to prance around

doing all that you expect

sit pretty, shut up

stuff down all the ugly s**t

that you know is tearing me apart

you who always plays the fool

the tool that is forever damaging

the little confidence i keep

until all that makes me, me

is tucked away in a little box

labelled ‘do not open’

would you be happier if i was forever your puppet

you already pull all my strings

I’m getting sick and tired

of being something for you to show off

when all i really want

is to be

 myself

It's hard to own yourself out here. But it is free after all. I think the pain of trying is worth it even when it gets too revealing. We're all gonna die anyway, you'll be fine.

I agree, your right, you might as well own it while you're here, it may be painful but it's a lot less painful than being someone you aren't.

Make sure you have a good time though... my advice might be trash because I enjoy a little pain. You have to do what works for you. One person's enlightenment is another persons pit of despair.
