Blood rushing down my feet
Body glistening with sweat
Voice stuck in my throat
Just one question I had got
What if I get caught?
Always keeping up this pretense
Feelings inside me getting more dense
When nothing around me makes sense
In the mirror, I catch my glance
As empty as a pot
What if I get caught?
My guards are up all the time
My actions clash with soul of mine
Every time trying to be more refined
But always end up sighing
Am I asking for a lot
What if I get caught?
The superficial me is all good
Deep down, only I know the things I withstood
Never trust my mood
‘Coz I have got rules laid down and understood
Let’s get it I say but I dare not
‘Coz what if I get caught?
My eyes – expressionless and stone cold
I am doing what I am being told
Closing my heart securely with a bolt
Even if it opens up, I get a hold
My soul demands to loosen up the knot
But what if I get caught?
Want to talk but I am dumbstruck
Trying to open up but got no luck
In all this mess I am stuck
Like an ugly flower waiting to be plucked
Wan’ all this to stop
But what if I get caught?
Longing for things that never come
How can I be more dumb
As ugly duckling as I am
All I do is try hard till I am numb
When all my defenses fall on spot
What if I get caught?
Come on, it’s all going to be fine
To yourselves, be a little more kind ‘
you can do it’ bear it in your mind
Just give yourselves a bit more time
Much afraid but I’ll give it a shot but then…..
What if I get caught?
