Who am I?
Who am I?
It’s the question no one can answer but me
I tried to be the man people want me to be
I’ve changed so often I lost myself
I ran away from my true self
Ran as hard as I possibly could
Tying to escape from life
The running worn me down
So I chose to hide
Hide my true self behind a mask
I made a different mask for everyone I met
Every mask covered the last
My true self sank deeper and deeper
Till the masks were all that was left
Everybody saw a different me
They saw what they wanted to see
Everybody was happy but me
I thought nobody cared
But they just couldn’t see
I try to put down the masks
But I’m terrified
Every time I come close to revealing myself
I chose to hide
It’s the safest solution
But is it the best
Al questions upon which I have no answers
Till you came in my life
You made me see
That it was not the mask you liked
It was me
You are the only one to whom I’m exposed
That why I love you so
It’s the question no one can answer but me
I tried to be the man people want me to be
I’ve changed so often I lost myself
I ran away from my true self
Ran as hard as I possibly could
Tying to escape from life
The running worn me down
So I chose to hide
Hide my true self behind a mask
I made a different mask for everyone I met
Every mask covered the last
My true self sank deeper and deeper
Till the masks were all that was left
Everybody saw a different me
They saw what they wanted to see
Everybody was happy but me
I thought nobody cared
But they just couldn’t see
I try to put down the masks
But I’m terrified
Every time I come close to revealing myself
I chose to hide
It’s the safest solution
But is it the best
Al questions upon which I have no answers
Till you came in my life
You made me see
That it was not the mask you liked
It was me
You are the only one to whom I’m exposed
That why I love you so

| Mooi gedicht, herkenbaar. Al zegt men zo vaak, je moet geen masker dragen... mijn mening: wees jezelf, draag een masker als het nodig is, dit om jezelf te beschermen. Die nooit een masker dragen, zijn raar (zeldzaam). Liefs, knuf. |
