Imitation is Suicide

I try to stay true
Honest, I do
My mask is partial
To cover the obscene
Things that no one wants to see
I have secrets,
But don't we all?

Yet the best of me,
I cast out to sea
And hope for the best
I'd be a hypocrite
If I didn't believe it
I practice what I preach
With every breath

I love the real I,
There's no reason to hide
No one else I'd rather be
I wear my heart on my sleeve, I know
I prefer it that way, always shown
Because that's what matters, it's deeper than skin
I am eternally free
