How to Be Free
Location
I hide behind a mask
Hoping you won’t ask
Who I am inside
Knowing I have lied
Not only to me
But to all of you
I can’t show what is true
Because then I’d have to know who:
Who I am. What am I?
The question burns in my mind
It hurts like a stab to the heart
Since I can’t find my part
In the world I live in
Sometimes I want to give in
And make it all go away
Whoever is left would pay
Just ‘cuz I couldn’t make it though the day
And that isn’t fair
So I’m required to care
And continue looking for my worth
All over the earth
Until I know myself
And put the mask on the shelf
Then I’ll come out of my shell
With stories to tell
And lessons learned
And rewards earned
I’ll know the true me
Not what everyone used to see
And I’ll be… free
