The cold sky fades to black

the curtains come up- now I'm exposed

am I losing myself?

am I finding myself?

So hard to make decisions when

the world watches on

They mutter, shake their heads, then go on

they don't know how hard this can be.

I'm expected to be better than all the ones before,

why do I have to be the one

when I don't even have the courage to step up?

Have you ever lost yourself before?

Drowned in the rest of the world?

Did you feel invincible?

Well, that's what I yearn for now.

But it's hard,

because truly the earth is a stage

and I am just acting

pretending to be someone else.
