Can You See Me ?

Can you see,

That behind this mask.

I hide who I want to be.

Can you see,

That I hide

Behind these layers of lies.

Keeping true,

To my disguise.

Can you see,

That I want to be true.

To someone,

different to you.

Can you see,

The frown I hide?

Maybe, perhaps,

The tears I've cried.

Can you see,

That I want to escape?

Without fear,

Of my knees to scrape.

Can you see,

That I want to be free?

To get rid of this stranger,

That isn't really me.

Can you see,

I want out of my box?

To bring back the me,

That I have now lost.

Can you see?

Can you see the real me?
