Expression is how we represent ourselves

Expression is what we withhold

We withhold what we really feel

Do we ever show an emotion that is real?

Being yourself is such a big deal

 

Could we ever let ourselves be true?

Who is to decide what we can and can not do?

Seeing yourself in the mirror shouldn't be a burden

Is it possible to see yourself in the mirror

Without your stomach turnin'?

 

 

Society says be who you truly are, while they're telling you who to be

How are we suppose to react?

We see ourselves and want to rip off our own skin

Can all these feelings really be a sin?

Acceptance of yourself is like a precious freedom

Teachers and preachers claim they have no judgement 

Parents and loved ones say "Shhhh, we pick no favorites"!

All of it is untruthful words

Lies that ones unloved deeply despise

 

 

Is it possible for anyone to live happily 

When they feel as though they have to live in disguise?
