Walking around just an average day,
Not much to say today,
Wonder if people will say,
What some want to say,
“What is that there?! They say.”

I look at them and say,
Try to change it and say.

What a wonderful day,
Trying to hide the real me,
That I hide from everyday.

Then they will say,
I don’t care about today,
Answer the question today!
I’ll look and say,

This is the real me,
That I hide from people,
Day to day,
They look and say,
But why oh why?

Blankly I say,
You just don’t know,
The real me.
