The hidden people

Whatever you do, don't forget to be yourself,

Because it would be very strange if you were someone else.

There are times when everyone must hide away what's real,

But if it's kept down for too long, you soon forget to feel,

As it builds thick walls of steel you try to hide behind,

Then it surrounds you and consumes you, and there's nothing left to find,

But the empty shell that was how people saw you,

Then there no escape because those people didn't know you.
