That's not you!

I feel, I feel,

Behind the mask is me,

There's the old me,

Why am I afraid of me?


It's not your fault,

You're a great person

Please don't ever stop

The time is now, so run.


The person, it's not you

It's just part of your person

It doesn't rule your life

Don't let something like this take it from you


Light in the darkness

When your sun is not shining

Give you people in the sadness

Say you're enough, please stay


All that you do

It's always enough, yes you're good enough,

Never feel bad

If you do something that's good for you.


The person, it's not you

It's just part of your person

It doesn't rule your life

Don't let something like that take it away from you.


Everybody's put their building block

In the house you're tending right now.

It's your life, everything around it,

Collect Polaroids in motley, and you say


Remember it's all yours

Make it what you want it to be

Build rooms with you and me

Let the ones you like in.


The person, that's not you,

It's the house that's created

Of you and your world,

Friends, family, what holds it together.


Now it's my turn,

And tell you thank you for everything,

Don't get me started on the words

You've been missing from this house,

The room where you and I live.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

​My name is Saskia Schleyer. I'm clumsy, organized most of the time, and love to write. I am currently doing my voluntary social year in an editorial office, which I enjoy very much. After that I want to study journalism. When I'm not writing, I sing or go out with my friends.
