I am (9th Grade)

I am not who you think I am
I wonder how you fall for such foolish lies
I hear it in your voice
I see that you believe every syllable that escapes my mouth
I want you to accept me
I am not who you think I am

I pretend to be something I'm not
I feel surprised this has gone on this long
I touch my false identity
I worry I have dug this hole too deep
I cry that I will never get out
I am not who you think I am

I understand what I'm doing is wrong
I say that not doing it may be worse
I dream that I can escape
I try to climb out
I hope you can forgive me
I am not who you think I am
