I wish I was the person everyone thought I was
Even a small sliver of them will do
Anything that will get me past
Where I am now

I want to hide you from my ugly
I never want anyone to know
Never want to show that side of me
That pushes everything away

I don't want my fingerprints on you
Make you dirty and scuffed
So I'll wear gloves and glasses
So you never see my face

I'm good at feigning this person
You have made me out to be
But it won't hold up forever
And now I'm stuck in between

I don't know if I'll ever be the person
Everyone thought I was
But this is how it is
So I guess I'll die trying
....

The way you present the acceptance in such a melancholy way makes the death of the superego seem almost artistic. It's resonant. I like this a lot :)
