True Colors

See I’ve done some things that just don’t seem right
When people look at me they see someone doing alright
But what I feel well its anything less than bright
I’m girl who looks like she's got it all put together
Perfect home, family, car life
but inside I feel like I cant handle the weather
I don’t know why I act the way I do
Why I can’t seem to get it right the first time
But finally, finally I’ve gotten a clue
See i’m just that girl who wants to be seen
I want more friends then I can even stomach
so is that why I act like a fool in public
Is this too much for you are you ready to hear about who about me
does it scare you that even some of the brightest people fall to their knees
does it scare you that one day you might become something like me
It scared me too and I swore I would never not be myself boy was I wrong
I let other people dictate me for so long I only see through others views
Is this even me or is it you who will I be next maybe you, or you
I can’t seem to find myself Im trapped crying for help
But I cant seem to get the words out
How do I change, how do I be myself
So let me by your life example
I’m sorry to take your time up but I wanted to give you a sample
Of what I live through day by day
playing the victim acting like I don’t have a say
You can’t live under a mask
it wont help you it cant shape you you wont last
So I hope you try to lead by example
Now Ive poured out my heart, done what Ive done, and seen what I've seen
So hello all this is the new and improved me
