The Real You

Contributed by Ataraxia on Thursday, 20th January 2005 @ 07:04:19 PM in AEST
Topic: SongLyrics

You pretend to hide in your shell
Thinking no one will ever be able to tell
Who you are and who you wish to be
Around your friends you stay away from me

Call me crazy, but you cant be sane
Arent you feeling hurt? Just a bit ashamed?
You cant be yourself or so you think its true
But I know the real you, and they dont deserve to

Do you really think that little of yourself?
Pack your personality away, hide it on a dusty shelf
Thinking maybe someday it will dissppear
If it does, my friend, youll never see me here

Call me crazy, but you cant be sane
Arent you feeling hurt? Just a bit ashamed?
You cant be yourself or so you think its true
But I know the real you, and they dont deserve to

You twist and turn and youve gone too far
Youve got a split personality, dont know who you are
I wish I knew you now, wish I knew your heart
But youre only half yourself, and its tearing you apart

Call me crazy, but arent you burnt?
Dont you feel lower than dirt?
You can be yourself with everyone you know
As soon as you let all your anger go

Call me crazy, but dont you feel lame?
Cant you see theyre all the same?
There must be someone taking over you
Cause I know the real you, and they don't deserve to

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
