Close the curtains Turn off the lights Take off the make up Hang up the costume I’m done Done being the girl you want I’m done pretending I don’t want to be an actress This is me. I’m imperfect My skin isn’t flawless And my body doesn’t look like hers. I change everyday Some days I can’t get out of bed And others I feel like I can touch the sky Sometimes I don’t know who I am. Am I the girl who shows her colours with pride? Or the girl who hides her scars? Maybe I’m the girl who hides behind a book But I’ll ever be the girl who hides behind a man. I will find myself some day I’ll show the colours that suit me I’ll show the world my pain I will be me. But for now, I’m done No more shame No more fear No more acting I just want my liberty I want to kiss her without fear To wear my clothes without harassments To be free.

My Liberty
Close the curtains Turn off the lights Take off the make up Hang up the costume I’m done Done being the girl you want I’m done pretending I don’t want to be an actress This is me. I’m imperfect My skin isn’t flawless And my body doesn’t look like hers. I change everyday Some days I can’t get out of bed And others I feel like I can touch the sky Sometimes I don’t know who I am. Am I the girl who shows her colours with pride? Or the girl who hides her scars? Maybe I’m the girl who hides behind a book But I’ll ever be the girl who hides behind a man. I will find myself some day I’ll show the colours that suit me I’ll show the world my pain I will be me. But for now, I’m done No more shame No more fear No more acting I just want my liberty I want to kiss her without fear To wear my clothes without harassments To be free.
