If all the things I'd wish to see
Were sitting there before me
The one thing that I would look for
Is something no less or more
Than me
And not that shadowed copy
That I've had to live with
All my life
Through all the pain and all the strife
This is what I'm left with
A fake deformed copy of my self
A twisted form
That is now known as me
I want to shut it out
Tear it apart
Show it that it can't be me
But then I will be alone
But aren't I alone now?
Aren't these people who are shadows also?
That is what we all are shadows
There sometimes to look jealously at our masks
And then gone again when they want us to be gone
I don't want to be a shadow anymore
I WANT TO BE ME
