What if we're all just hiding.
And the truth won't ever come out.
We lie and deceit and cower,
Because in ourselves we see doubt.
We don't want people to know,
Who we really, truly are.
It's as if we're somehow scared,
Of not quite reaching par.
I know that I seem confident,
But honestly, I'm scared.
The judgemental eyes of everyone,
Strike fear into my head.
And I wonder if they'll like me,
Or think I'm not smart or funny or caring.
I find it hard to be myself.
With society's relentless voice blaring.
But we can never be different,
Unless we are confident deep within.
And I will never be different,
For I so long to fit in.
And that boy with the nervous tick,
Sits alone during lunch.
And that kid who likes science,
Still gets his daily punch.
