Who I am.

(Chorus) In the spotlight’s glare, they paint their view, But who I am is not defined by their hue. I’ll break the mold, and write my own script, In the moments I seize, my identity’s stripped. (Verse 1) They see the surface, but not the depth, A persona crafted, a story kept. In the eyes of the world, I wear a mask, But behind the facade, is a daunting task. To break free from expectations, to be true, In the journey of self, I’ll find my due. (Bridge) Their perceptions linger, like shadows in the night, But who I am shines in my inner light. I’ll carve my path, with courage as my guide, In the echoes of doubt, my truth won’t hide. (Pre-Chorus) Their whispers haunt, their judgments sting, But in the melody of life, I’ll spread my wing. For who I am is beyond their gaze, In the silence of self, I’ll set ablaze. (Chorus) In the spotlight’s glare, they paint their view, But who I am is not defined by their hue. I’ll break the mold, and write my own script, In the moments I seize, my identity’s stripped. (Verse 2) They label and categorize, but they don’t see, The complexities within, the spirit so free. In the maze of perceptions, I find my way, Unraveling the layers, night and day. For who I am is a journey untold, (Bridge) Their judgments fall, like rain on the ground, But who I am is the voice I’ve found. I’ll dance to my rhythm, in my own time, In the symphony of self, I’ll find my prime. (Pre-Verse) Their expectations weigh heavy, like chains, But in the melody of my soul, I’ll break the reins. For who I am is beyond their gaze, In the silence of self, I’ll set ablaze. (Chorus) In the spotlight’s glare, they paint their view, But who I am is not defined by their hue. I’ll break the mold, and write my own script, In the moments I seize, my identity’s stripped. (end) (fade)
