Who are we, when nobody is watching?
when there's nowhere else to fit in,
when our personalities start crashing and falling.
Without the standards of society,
will we eventually lose our identity?
or will we meet it?
meet our true selves.
Maybe then we'd be free,
free from having to pretend,
but if we were,
wouldn't being different have no end?
The unique would be considered ordinary,
because then,
we'd all be extraordinary.
What if there'd be no ordinary?
Is such a world only imaginary?
To lose all this unnecessary acting,
instead embrace our true selves.
Maybe the question was never who we are when nobody is watching,
but whether we are brave enough,
to be that person
when everyone is.
