I hear you, all of you. Talking about me, good and bad, behind my own back. I guess that's okay. Though, The **** you say stays embedded in my brain. Haunts me while I do the things I love, suffocates me. Am I too much? Am I too wrong? I try to be perfect, or the best I can be, for you. And all I get is **** back. That's okay, that's alright. I guess I'll be okay. Act like I'm fine, I'm that happy kid... Everyone wants to be me. At least they think they do. I live under that rock, mind my own business, Be my own person. But being lonely hurts, It brings me sadness, and pain, that I cover up like I'm putting on makeup. But when I take off that cover, Not many people believe what I say. I'm too much without that cover. Maybe I should just live with that cover on. That's okay, That's alright, I guess I will live like that, If it means I'm found. I hear you, all of you. Talking about me, good and bad, behind my own back. I'll be okay, I will be okay...
