This can not be right
What is it they do not see
I know this is me
When people say you're just confused or say you're wrong and you don't know anything about yourself like they know you. It's terrible and I hope those people will learn some day.

Let me be me.
Trust my judgement even if you don't know what it means
Believe that I am trying
Explaining how I feel is a lot harder than lying.
I am afraid.
I am scared with every word I say
But not because of I'm unsure who I am at the end of the day.
I know who I am. What I'm afraid of is that our relationship will fade.
It's hard for both of us,
All I'm asking for is a little bit of trust
I know you don't want to give it because I've lied.
I know you feel like your daughter has died
But I know that your son is alive.
He's not asking for help, he just wants support
You can't get a her out of him no matter what you try to extort.
I've always been a people pleaser, who said I didn't act that way for you?
I don't like upsetting people, this trait is not new.
I know you think I am too young
But I am sure as the rising sun
I may not know everything, but at least I know this
So draw your arrow and aim your bow
But if you shoot be sure not to miss
Because when it comes to this, I will not just roll over and lie low.

I don't want us to be stuck in our head
I don't want us to have nightmares on end
I don't want us to be afraid
I don't want us to always be worried about hate
I don't want us to have to hide
I don't want us to have to lie
I don't want us to be uncomfortable in our skin
Waiting one day for a new life to begin
I don't want to watch us cry
Because we had to add a new string to our web of lies
I want us to be happy
To live the life we want
To stop having someone else be what's in front
I want us to be what people see and know
Instead of someone else who is fake and just for show
I want us to find our smile
Instead of forcing one every once in awhile
I want us to be us
I don't want us to hide because we are afraid of those we should trust
I want us to talk to them
So we don't have to lie again and again
I know we're afraid of something we don't know will happen
But what if we got an unwelcoming reaction?
Should we tell the truth and suffer the pain our own personal hell might send?
Or should we lie again?

— The End —
