The True Me

Need to chip away
the wall around my heart and mind
to let down my guard
you might be surprised at what you find

To find a scared child
the part no one sees
who is stuck
way high in the trees.

I am tired of fighting
I want to show everyone
I can do this right
hold my head high in the sun

Need to redefined who I am
include the things that are real
maybe one day soon
I can show the world how I feel

For now this is what I do
sit alone and write
to get over the hill
I try with all my might

with no one watching
I let my guard fall
no one can hurt me
no one at all!!!
