Paper thin skin
Rip it off
Peal back my paper thin skin
Reveal my true form
No not now not here not in this lifetime
There eyes are watching
Disappointed disapproving staring
I will keep my paper mask on
Keep them happy
Save what I can
Loose who I am but at least I’m safe
At least those eyes are happy
But what if…
NO NO NOOO
I CAN’T LET IT IN
KEEP IT AT BAY
DON’T THINK
DON’T FEEL
DON’T BE WHO you are…
Take the safe road home
Keep your paper face on
Don’t let them know
One day maybe it will be safe
But today I keep on my paper thin skin
The itching won’t stop
I want to be free
To be out
To finally be me
To tear off my paper skin
Let me be me in my own skin
Not this paper imitation
The eyes chain me down
Tell me that my paper skin is me
Chain it on glue it on keep it on
That paper thin skin
That fake itchy imitation
What if I’m wrong
What if I’m lying
What if the eyes are right
But I know
I know it’s all paper thin
So rip it off
Peal it back
Let me out
Let me be free
Undo the chains
Melt the glue
No one is watching
No one knows but me
Only I know how to be me
So I choose I choose to be free
I won’t listen to the eyes telling me lies
I
Am
Me
I
Will
Be

Bella is my name
No hiding it
I’m sorry that I’m not your son
But that paper skin was never me
I’m sorry I lied
But I’m here now so please
Please forgive me
I hope you can still love me
after I have taken off my paper thin skin
