I am empty, there's nothing left inside,
A shell of a person, just going through the ride.
I'm not allowed to speak my mind or be myself,
Instead, I'm told to do what I'm told, and keep my feelings on the shelf.
When I'm happy, I can't express my joy out loud,
And when I'm sad, I'm not allowed to be understood.
I'm forced to suppress my anger and not let it show,
I feel trapped and powerless, with nowhere else to go.
I don't know why I can't be who I truly am,
The person that God has created, unique and grand.
But instead, I feel like a hollow and unrecognizable clone,
And I'm sorry that I can't be the person God has shown.
I'm tired of being someone I'm not,
I want to be true to myself, to give it a shot.
I want to break free and be whole,
To let my true self out, and finally take control.
