#106 Unleash the Inner Me
I'm tired of being someone who everybody wants me to be.
Trapped and scared in my own insecurities.
I just wanna be free! Unleash the inner me.
Do you know how it feels to be
walking in someone else's shoes,
and to be confined to whatever it is they do?
I know exactly how that feels deep
inside, because my whole life has been a dark lie.
I'm too ashamed to show who I truly am.
The things they say it hurts me,
because I'm not really me. These empty spaces are killing me.
I just feel that I can't really be me!
People look at me in all of these strange ways.
Makin' it hard to get through the day.
They talk and talk, but it seems that it's true.
Cuz I'm not me, but I'm tryna get through!
I feel lonely when I'm in a crowd. I feel silent when I'm so loud.
These black holes in my soul, I just really can't condole.
I wanna be complete! Don't wanna be discrete with my lifestyle.
I wanna feel comfortable in my own skin.
I wanna feel that my life is not a sin!

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
