Let Me Be Me.

It is not my place to feel,
Merely to lay back and deal,
The facade of perfection maddens me,
So caught in it I cannot break free,
There is so much I wish I could say,
But now the words just fade away.

I have no strength to stand my ground,
No hope of change to come round,
Frustration rages inside like a fire,
Burning; fueling my desires,
Why can't they step back and just see,
I cannot stand them controlling me.

Like a doll on a shelf,
Perfectly untouched and by herself,
Trapped in a glass case no one can see,
Hoping only that someday I'll be free,
Allow me to be who I want to be,
Please someone let me be me.
