Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning

To many faces I have put on,
To many acts I have played,
My audience is the people around me,
Yet they can't see the real me.

I've been so many different people,
Been what they expect to see,
Tried to gain popularity,
Yet, I can't see who I'm supposed to be.

I've lost myself behind all my acts,
Can't remember what to do next,
Just put on another face so they can't see the real me.

I'm torn to pieces,
I don't know which is me,
I've lost the real me behind all of my fake pretend Me's.
