Every day I crave to just be me

But it’s a “me” I can never be

I’ll forever be what they want me to be

I’ll forever be what they see

My will to survive, I strive to exist

For that I must hide deep within myself

I am still left behind

I desire to peel away each false layer that they have made for me

I desire to peel away what isn’t me

Who I am is suffocating under layers of your lies

I am trying to find the “me” that’s hidden deep inside

Choking, the pressure builds inside

These false layers can’t contain my rage

I’m screaming so someone will hear my pain

I’ll destroy everything I’m not

Fueled by righteous anger

I’ll become who I was meant to be

Can’t contain my rage

Can’t contain my hate
