My True Self

I look in the mirror, and I see me,

But it's not who I am, it's who you made me be.

You shaped me, you changed me, I let it all through,

But now I know better, I see what is true.

I'm not the version you created, to please the crowd,

Learned the hard way what matters, and now I'm proud.

No more trying to fit in, no more living a lie,

From now on, I'll be myself, no more asking why.

I tried to please everyone, but I lost my way,

Forgot what I wanted, forgot what to say.
