NO FOOLING . . . . STILL<\/strong><\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Every once in a while<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I’d love to be able<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to hide how I feel,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

these emotions of mine<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

that find their way<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

in between the cracks<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

of the wall constructed<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

so very meticulously<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and carefully designed<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

not to let them in.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

Every once in a while<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I’d love to be able<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to wear a mask,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to cover them up<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

so no one would see<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

when I’m mad<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

or I’m sad<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

or just feeling bad.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I’d love to be able<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to just hide them away,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

these emotions of mine,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

every once in a while<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

spilling over<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

spoiling<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

my<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

day.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

No masks can I wear<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to hide how I feel,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and as much as I’d like<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to cover them up,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

what’s there is what’s there,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

no covering it up.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

So I’ve grown<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

quite accustomed<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to being myself<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and any masks<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

that I’ve ever tried<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to wear in the past<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

still sit on the shelf<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

just gathering dust<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

as they never did fit<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

this personality of mine.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I am who I am<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and nobody else.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I am who I am,<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

who you see<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

is truly me.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

I am who I am<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

and content<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

to simply<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n

be myself.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n
