drown me out
hide me with a cloak
make me invisible
more than i am right now

i don't want to shine
i don't want to be out there
let me blend with the crowd
let me not stand out

for every time i gain
just a tiny ounce of confidence
to just try again
i end up disappointing

so, not again
not anymore
just drown me out
i don't want to be seen
