JUST LET ME BE
To be or not to be
To smile or not to smile
To wave or not to wave.
A foe I must fight
A stranger I must meet
A friend I must greet.
Why can't I just be
A face that no one knows
A voice that no one hears
A person that no one sees.
Why can't I just live
Buried in the rubble
Head underneath the sand
Eyes closed all the time.
So no one can say
I know who that is.
