Be Myself Tonight I woke up this morning With a smile on my face A resolve to agree Or disagree with grace Now my cheeks ache From feigning delight How I wish to be Be myself tonight The day passed by quickly With me saying 'yes' I war with emotions The 'no' I suppress And no, it's not me Who agrees outright A mask to take off And be myself tonight A woman of poise Who lives a good #life The girl who has everything A satisfied wife The many masks I wear And take off each night When at last I'm alone Voices in my head I replay each scene What could have been instead My words, bared No sugar coated spiel Actions, spontaneous React on what I feel I'm scared, I'm weak Frustrated, and pained My solace are tears I let fall, free reign In the dark I can hide And do what is right At least for a moment Be myself tonight.
