They told me rules before I knew, What's right, what's wrong, what not to do. I wore a mask, I played along, But deep inside, it felt all wrong. I had a voice, it spoke so clear, But I kept quiet, trapped by fear. "What if they judge? What if I break?" So I stayed silent for their sake. Now that silence starts to ache, A dream asleep I need to wake. It's time I let the real me speak - Not loud, just true. Not strong, just weak.
