This is Not Me
This is Not Me
by Slave PrinceIf someone’s pretending
If someone’s faking
But why can’t I say it to myself?
It is easy to be trapped
To play in someone’s game
To live in someone’s standards
When can I be myself?
I grew up believing “Just be yourself”
“Honesty is the best policy”
“The truth will set you free”
Who am I now?
This is not me
The “me” my parents treasured
The “me” my friends adored
The “me” I loved and valued
This is a sad and messy world
For us who don’t know ourselves
I can’t wait for the day my soul is free
The day I can finally say: “This is me”
