I don’t want to share
It could be used to hurt me
I hide behind a name
A creation to protect me
How easy is it to be someone else
Will this keep me safe
With this pass blame to someone else
Am I a coward for not being me
Choosing a false face
A mask for my safety
I will shed the mask
Honoring the names I’ve chosen
Taking responsibility for I said
