"Just Be Who You Are"

When people see me now
They aren't really seeing me
And I don't even know who I am
Or the person I may be

I'm still figuring out
Who I am inside
But a part of me is scared
And only wants to hide

I've tried my whole life
And still don't know why
Why I'm always so sad
Why I feel the need to cry

It's like I'm two people
To my family and my peers
How long is it going to take
For me to stop living in fear

I'm afraid to let people in
Because I don't want them to feel my pain
But it's no one else's fault
I am the one to blame

So all I have to do
It to help myself see
That I can't be afraid
To just be me
