This is me
  Me with my own laugh, my own smile, no one else’s
  Me with my hair, my no longer crooked teeth
   
  This is me
  Me with my fears, my dreams, my doubts
  Me with my hopes my pain, my joys
   
  This is me
  No one else, just me
  Can you see me?  The real me?
   
  Me
  Hidden inside
  Where I can keep it safe
   
  I want to let it out, let you see
  But I can’t
  Not yet
   
  I wait 
  Until I am sure that it won’t hurt me
  Sure that you won’t hurt me
   
  But if you reject me, 
  Reject the true me,
  What will I do?
   
  I might walk away
  I might cry
  But I will always remember
   
  If I choose to let you in
  And you choose to hurt me
  I’ll never let you in again
   
  If you don’t like me
  The real me, the true me
  What’s hidden deep within me
   
  Then that’s too bad
  Because this is me
  And there’s nothing you can do to change that
