Would-be self
This is about some body who can't let their true feelings come out, and won't let who they really are show. So they are calling out for their would-be self, and yet nothing happens, and then they yell, "I am here!" and something begins to happen, that person begins to cry, and they have finally let it out, to somebody they can cry to, and free their feelings to. They finally have let their would-be self through, they've finally called for it to the highest point.
By my sight it reflects
From others eyes
I regret
To be hiding beyond another's mind
Wishing to be so much more
Than putting my would-be self behind
Can't remember if I cry
I am strong
And I lie
Hold in every single tear
Would be self, I am here!
My tears begin to overflow
Cheeks turn red
My heart will glow
I've finally let you through
Would-be self
I've found someone I can cry to
