Me

I don't want to be me.
The me that everyone can see.
I live in a shell where I hide.
The real me is lost inside.
I've been thinking too much inside this body.
They bounce off the walls and chip away at me.
I can't find her no matter how hard I look.
No one can help me no matter how long it took.

But to protect everyone I must lie.
And on the inside all I do is cry.
I have hurt my family with unspoken words.
So they cage me up like I'm one of there birds.
I want to escape and be free.
And find a place where I can be me.
I fear if I do then I could die.
But I don't want to be me that is a lie.
