but I've been covering up for some time now.
Bundling up in lies that I could disguise myself in
layers so thick you wouldn't recognize me anymore
I was hoping you would stop looking for me
Like a year-long game of hide and go seek
I hid in the darkest place I could find
yet you kept looking
I even turned my back in all my camouflage and quit the game
I had convinced myself you couldn't see through it all
that you had given up
but you knew me the whole time
you played the game
and you walked with me when I walked away
I bet you even chuckled at my poor excuse for a costume
I thought the cover up was flawless
so
here i am.
but I don't wanna play games anymore
I'm DONE hiding
and all these layers are getting heavy
so I'm turning around
peeling them off
one painful mask at a time
until all there is
is who I am
facing
who you are
nothing to hide
showing you all that I got
naked I came and naked I will depart
you knew that all along
so here is me
this is what I got
It ain't pretty
but I want You to see it All
because breathing under costumes is impossible
all I wanna do is inhale you again
but first I gotta find my lungs
and with my first breath I'll say
Hi.
Nice to meet you again.
My name is Lydia.
i got nothing to hide from you anymore
everything I am is all yours
if you still want me
i am yours.
