You try so infinitely hard to be perfect,

You want to be every bit worth it.

You change from one person to another like it's nothing,

But I can tell that it's cutting

Your beautiful soul into two.

Why do you think you need to be anyone other than you?

I want to burn the filter you place on yourself,

I want crush it in onto itself.

It holds you back, and yet you think you need it,

You have twenty twenty eyesight but somehow you can't see it:

You are perfect just being you,

Letting everything bleed through,

With all your faults and all your flair,

All the emotion you pretend isn't there,

With your little rants and your innocence,

Everything about you makes you my favorite.

So why do you hide?

Please just let me inside,

It's past time this fear was overcome

And then some.
