Let me be me

Hidden beneath these layers, a story untold,

Feel the fire inside me, burning bold.

Caught between who I am and who I was,

Breaking all the chains, just because.

No more pretending, no more disguise,

This is my truth, shining in my eyes.

Won't you come and see me?

If you don't believe me,

I know that you see me,

Wishing you could be me.

Don't try to judge me,

You don't really know me,

So don't try me,

Just let me be.

I smile but cry inside

The pain i conceal, must hide (hide)

Keeping it together for family

Glued together cracked and damaged (damaged)

Hanging on by thread

Tough skin don't shed (shed)

Won't you come and see me?

If you don't believe me,

I know that you see me,

Wishing you could be me.

Don't try to judge me,

You don't really know me,

So don't try me,

Just let me be.

Through the pain, I rise high,

Reaching for the open sky.

Let the world see the real me,

Breaking free, finally free.

So if you see me somewhere, remember this plea,

Won't you come and see me,

Let me just be me.
