Lights, Camera, Action!

Why is it I always freeze, always feel at such unease
The moment a camera appears, unearthing all of my fears
I'll look ugly in the picture, I'll spoil it, I will
Everyone else is smiling, why can't I just chill?

There's a line in a song, which always grabs at my heart
"Please don't take my photograph, 'cause I don't wanna know how it looks to feel like this"
I identify so much with this, that it scares me.

So my mission for now, is to overcome this somehow
To find that self belief, to feel the relief
That I am not what I think I see, that I can be who I want to be
Simply me.

I just need to learn that this is actually good enough.
