What's Really Behind The Curtain
Please ignore the man you see behind the curtain
If you have seen him then this false identity is no longer workin’
I’ve put on a mask for many years
While I hid away and shed these tears
Halfway because I was filled with disgust
But the other half was because of mistrust
I make new friends and put on a smiling face
But I only use this smile so I can hide my disgrace
I’ve got skeletons in my closet like anyone else
Most of them weren’t put there by myself
This closet has two doors
One is mine and one is yours
I’ve concealed myself in a hard outer shell
But my insides have been going through a living hell
On the inside I’m a complete wreck
I’ve realized I’m growing up and getting a reality check
I come off as a well-rounded confident individual
That’s just my sheep clothing made of wool
I’ve kept this wolf hidden forever and I’m being accepted
But as I continue growing my true personality is reflected
If you continue deeper you might find me
But I might just be another fish hidden in the sea
I’ve got talents just like any other
But the best things I have yet to discover
I think that I’m smart but truthfully I might be dumb
But the fact of the matter is that I’m still young
I’m going through high school and learning new things
While things are coming to an end here these are new beginnings
I’m going to be in the world soon and that is crazy
I had to get a job and stop being lazy
Now I’ve told the struggles inside of me so on the outside here’s what you’ll see
A smiling young kid asking “May I help you with your groceries?”
