Can You See Me?
Can You See Me?
Do you know who I am?
Do you think you understand me?
Able to tell me who I think I am
And who I really am
Make up me
Can you really know someone
Completely?
Do you not see the pain behind my smile
How I choke on it every time I have to use it
It is shoved so far down my throat
That it feels like I am suffocating
From the inside
Do you not see
Or hear my silent cries
Behind my unwavering gaze
The dead stare
That seems to chill you to the bone?
Do you still think you know me?
Are you able to tell me that you see me
That you get me
Do you not feel there is something wrong
In my head
My body feels so heavy
My mind is chained
I am trying to break free
From youFrom everything
Everyone
That told me I had to be this way
This Fake
Who wears this mask behind my face
To Hide who I truly am
You ask who told me that I must act this way
Be like this?
Why it is so simple
Because the answer is so simple
For once its clear
It is you my dear
You and others like you
Society
Made me who I am
Made others like me
And without a care in the world
And will continue to do it
Until there is no one left
No one to stand up
And make the difference
Well I will tell you right now
That I will break free
I let you make me
Break ME
But this will not continue
Because someone must save us
Someone must stand up
Rise up
Become the hero
If not for me then for them
For those who are next
So that they WILL NOT go through what I went through
The transformation has begun
It is already done
The chains on my mind are broken
My body is weightless
I am free
To be anybody I want to be
Because the only person who really knows me
Can really know me
IS ME.
