see the real me, by Brandi Subscribe to rss feed for Brandi

why
why is it so hard
hard to let them in
to them all see the real me
no false allusions
no smoke and mirrors
nothing
just me
if i want him
i have to let them all in
its so hard
with the things that i have been through
i finally closed my self off
i limited the people that i was going to let into my life
and then this happened
i didnt expect it
not at all
this was not in my plan
but this is good. right?!?!
i trust them
but never really trust them
they know stuff
but they dont know close to it all
it is the image that i project
truth is
i am affraid that people wont like the real me
and i already know they like this me
so i keep up the facade
even though i am tired of it
tired of pretending
i need to just let it all out
say...the person you think you know
isnt really me
and i get ready to do it
then back out
it has happened a million times
but i have to let them in
of course letting him in to see the real me
would also be a big improvement
so i have now decided
to start over
hi, my name is Brandi
