Just Let Me Be Me
Why cant you look deeper than the surface of things
Is it that hard to see what I really do for you?
Why do you constantly choose to see things from the top?
Instead can't you see what I really do to show you my love
We all have some issues that are messed up and persistant
But I will be damned if those issues will relinquish the present
I am tired of always showing what you want to see
For once stop and look through 7 layers of skin and for once just be
Cant you see that my heart aches for you but I cant tell you
Cant you feel that my pain is trapped in my mind with the enemy
Its not letting me out, but damn I do try ever so hard
One day I will kill the evil that blocks it and holds in tight
And one day just for once you will truly see what there is underneath
When you see you will notice I have many scars that plaster my image
Until then please know it is in here but wont come out
I have to defeat these demons inside of me
Then like a butterfly in the cocoon of life I will shine
And blind those that did not want to see the true meaning of me
And deafen those that spoke so loudly against my world
For once I will be the one to complain about nothing
