Be Myself

You say be myself
But how can I when I know they’ll reject me
I feel so fake here
Like I’m living a lie
Be myself
Well how in the hell am I supposed to do that
People who know me I’ve known for years
And some of them confirmed my fears
Saying **** behind my back
Telling my secrets
Only friends with me because they liked my brothers
Tomboy
Freak
Different
Uncomplete
This is me
Be myself
Why don’t you show me how
Just one step then push me out or just drag me out
I just need help coming out
So just give me a tip or give me a call
You say be myself
Well tell me how

I feel it. no one ever shows us how,until we make the step ourselves of venturing into the unknown
