'Who do you want to be?'
Myself
But how can I be myself if I don't even know who that is
I am an amalgamation of different facades
I can't even tell the difference between fantasy and reality
'Who do you want to be?'
I've only ever wanted to be myself
But people never want you to be yourself
They want you to be the person they think is who you are
'Who do you want to be?'
I can't tell you how many people think they know me
And I can't blame them
They know what I want them to know
'Who do you want to be?'
I could be myself
But I can't
It terrifies me, being genuine
'Who do you want to be?'
Not me
Never me
Oh god, anybody but me
What a silly little idea to be me
When that idea never existed
