Mary Shelwood Poet I do not know?

Wake Up

Wake up wake up why are you living this life 
Wake up wake up can you stop erasing me
Wake up wake up reveal me to you
Wake up wake up stop pleasing everyone else
Wake up wake up are you going to see me for me
Wake up wake up im tired of making you happy
why cant i seem to make myself happy but i make others happy
im tired of crying myself to sleep not fitting in this world
im tired of wearing this mask to please you when will i be able to please me
what you cant accept me for me or do i have to wear this mask to keep you smiling 
all you say is wake up wake up well im tired of waking up just let me sleep so i can 
solve all your problems
