It's Not What It Used To Be...
September 13, 2013
You think you know,
Me
You know of me
You know what I've chosen to share
A lot of my dark secrets
I've kept safe with you
But there are still so many
If only you knew
You've changed and so have I
I'm different
Our friendship has gone awry
You don't know me any more
Stop trying to instill
Some sort of guilt in me
You don't know what it takes,
Just for me to breathe
You don't see behind the scenes
Stop acting like you know me
And stop judging me
You see my smile,
My optimism,
What I try to be
You don't see all the layers of me
