Behind My Curtain

Location

It's not fair

I'm not this quiet but they don't know

I'm putting on quite the show

This is the way to make friends right?

No, I know but they don't 

Should I be me or this image I've created

Hell, I don't want to be hated. 

But I'm loud, I'm free, independent

I'm me

But not around them, to them me is she

This girl,quiet little me

I had friends who knew

How much fun I was, they loved my show

But now I'm alone, trying again

Should I show them who I really am?
