From me: &quot;The Point of writing isn&#039;t so others can understand what&#039;s going on in your mind. It&#039;s so you can understand what&#039;s going on inside yourself.&quot;<br /> <br /> By me: &quot;Who needs you when I have these yellow lines on this road?&quot;

I want to be found
I want to be saved
I want to be searched for
To feel and be needed
I want you to see
To see the real me
Not the me that has lied
The real me, the free me
Not the me in the mask
But behind them all
Behind the masks, behind the lies
The true me
Not the me behind your wants
Behind your needs
Not the me who lies to please
The real, the true me
The beautiful, the lovable me
The me who wants to just be me
Simply, truly, beautifully
Me…
