Lay flat torn and open
For the world to gaze upon

See through all I am
But don’t go past what I hide

Acting strange and telling lies
Only to try and hide my true side

I don’t open so easy
To you I am open
But to me I am cracked

I have yet to reveal my true side
Not to you
Not to them
Not to anyone but myself

I tell you all sorts of things…
But I have not lied…
I have only bent the truth and stretched it far.

I do it all the time to see who I can adore.
I hide myself beneath this mask.
I hide myself so I can last.

I have lied but only once.
I have lied more than enough.
Many small lies here and there
Add to one big mask hiding me my dear

I hide me by telling you things that are not me
I make you believe so I may believe
I want to believe so that its more convincing

But I lose myself sometimes…
And I have to go back and refind what is mine.
I am me and me I will be but I need to trace my steps
Find my pieces I left

Put them together and tell you the truth
I have been lieing to you so I cannot be mad you have lied to me.

I want to show you now.
Only let me do so slowly…
I want to show who I am truly.
