Who are you?
Like really
Speak to me all your truths and your accomplishments
To show me that you're not a burden to you or any of your peers
We all have some things that hold us back and puts us in the bunch
I am not a fool
Why can't you tell the ugliness that hides underneath that flimsy border that you call a mask
It ain't no easy task
Understanding yourself, understanding that your imperfections aren't helpful
Bet you feel like a loner huh?
Your past is like clay, everything you did was did and done, so there's stains
But there's still a future that you can mold
So don't hate yourself, and only live with the skeletons that hide in your closet
And understand, that there's still a chance
A chance that you can try to reach the stars, and become the person that you urge to be
Who are you?
Do you think you can tell me now
While you're in your mid high, tell me you're the guy with pain in his heart
Swollen in hate and disappointment, all you can do is sob
There's still time, enough time to where you can drive all the unhealthy decisions away from your life
There's nobody holding you back, no chains around your neck and shackles on your ankles
Just drive, drive till you drive all that pain away
I know the sting is never going to leave though, but do you
The real you
It just gives a reason to give you life
Not letting the monsters in your head take over
Just live with your moments that **** you slowly, and find something that'll make you die slower
And show everybody all of you
So, Who are you?
