Hear me now, Im on my knees praying, though my faith is weak.
I've got no one else, in your eye everything I thought I was is gone.
I'm weak, naked, without all the lies I've covered myself with.
I tricked myself into believing the illusion I projected. I thought it was who I was.
Now I see that I was wrong.
Everything I was isn't part of me.
It's not who I am, it's who I thought I should be, who I thought everyone wanted me to be.
The past me was nothing but a show.
Now I see myself. Naked. Bare without the lies.
Every thing I am is scrutinized by your eye. My faults emphasized by your light.
But no, not again, I will not cover myself up because of you.
I will not feel shame, or insecurity, not even under your gaze.
I will feel confident and powerful. I will be poise and radiant.
I will project my inner self and will be blind to your eye.
I am who I am, and who I am shouldn't be affected by anyone but myself.
