Fake?
I am hidden
I am hidden behind these makeup creases and fake smiles
I am hidden beneath the meaningless flirtation and small talk
I am hidden from everyone that hides
I am hidden in a game of hide and seek
where everyone encloses themselves with fakery and hate
I hide
I hide, bubbling up with a spontanious laugh
I hide, skimming the surface of who I really am
I hide, opening up at a hug or over a milkshake
I am me
I am me, banter and laughter and smiling manor
I am me, up at midnight drawing to indie rock
I am me, dancing to the rythm of my favorite song
I am hidden, I hide, I am me.
I am all of these; you see?
