Genuine me

You got me finally

Got me down upon my knees,

Beaten and I am so weak

Through the pressure

Of trying to be,

The best of everything

Sacrificing the authentic me,

And now I just want to be free

To live without the burden

Of trying to be complete,

Because I know I am flawed

And that’s a relief,

Of no longer wearing a mask

Life should have to be this hard,

I am everything I need to be

Why is it nobody else can see,

This is the real and genuine me.

  2. Wonderful post. I wish I knew who the genuine me is. So buried under the layers of masks.

    The time has come at last
    (secret secret I’ve got a secret)
    To throw away this mask
    (secret secret I’ve got a secret)
    Now everyone can see
    (secret secret I’ve got a secret)
    My true identity…”
