Hi, My Name is…

Whatever I decide it is

Hi, My Name is…

Pack it up shut it down

Sell it all, get out of town

*

Run away, who would care

Change your name and disappear

*

Wash your hands, don’t look back

You can’t pretend away feelings like that

*

Another day, another town

Where no one you know, is around

*

Be unknown, unkept,untouchable

Where whatever you choose is more than possible

*

Not wearing someone else’s pressures or expectations

Becoming someone worthy of celebrating

*

This day, I love me, tomorrow, hate me has to change

I can’t take another day collecting rage

*

Self loathing questioning everything about me

Let it go, walk away and find I’m finally free

*

Just not today, I got myself tied up again

Not able to, complete the things that I have planned

*

One day I will, the strength inside will find a way

I’m holding on to hope, this me I hide will find escape
