My brain is telling me lies
Lies that go deep inside
I am not good enough
That I am not worthy of love
Who do I believe
Those old voices planted in my head
Or the new ones rooted in my heart
How do I undo years of self-hate
And find new ways of self-love
They shouted in my face I’m no good
Now others hold me tight and say that they care
I resist the embrace
The words so foreign
I am uncomfortable in my own skin
I want to soak it all in
The walls are high
The foundation deep
I have held it up for so long
My arms turn weak
The mask is heavy and begins to slip
To show my true self will be a feat
But what if they run when they see the real me
Not the facade that has begun to crumble
I am not the same person from years ago
Underneath is a soul just starting to glimmer
As the tarnish has begun to fade
This Is Me
