I tried

            I tried to be what you fancied      

      I tried to be different

      I shammed to be who I wasn’t

      

      Over and over again

       I fought against my primordial

       Until I flipped over myself inward

           Only to see I am freedom’s fringe ...

        I am not you nor your fantasia

          And the path I take isn't glam or glitzy

           It is flimsy and often lonely

        Sometimes I cry as you walk by

        But you can’t see my quiver

        Nor plunge to the land gloomy

         I tried for so long to fit in

             Only to find my solitude sees authenticity …

            Yup ... I no longer want to follow what isn’t me
