Keeping quiet 
Thinking something is wrong 
Why does no one talk?
Trying but failing.
 
Always waiting for someone to see me
What about them, he or she
Is it the way I dress?
The way I act?
 
Had enough of this
Ready to break out and fly away
Busting through the wall
Breaking the bricks that weigh me down
 
I will take my own reigns 
Some friends, family holding me back
Sick of secret pains 
Preparing to reveal the new me
 
Pulling back that secret curtain is scary.
Give me courage to fly high in the sky
To leave and find myself
