Being one person is what you're suppose to be.
I figured out when you look inside there are two of me.

When I walk, there's always someone else no one can really see.
I talk and there's always another voice that's running through my head.

1,2,3 but I'm mislead.
I can't be two people anymore.
Pretending can't be my score.

Tryin' to satisfy people as I go, but I'm like a car getting towed.

Just if maybe one day I can prove someone wrong; that right now is not where I belong.

Two people equal to one now, but I can't understand how?

Sick of being two people at once.
If one person would be my witness, I probably wouldn't have to keep my distance.


The author's comments:
What inspired me to write this poem is how some people can pretend they're happy and everyone believes it. I'm hoping people will realize that it's okay to have different personalities, but when you feel like there's a part of you no one knows, let it show. Let people know who you really are, so you don't have to stay distant from people. It's part of being yourself!
