Embarrassed really, I thought by now, I'd be somebody else
Confused, I suppose, how did I managed to lose myself?
Lonely and afraid, I find, survival is immense
Insecure and disposable, like a pack of cigarettes
Pretending seems to get me by the radar of my friends
Sharing seems to cost too much, and always cost me in the end
Eclipsing covers all my fear and any impending bends. Covered in the shadows awaiting my equalizing dividends

This is sad, beautiful and somewhat relatable. Well done.
Very relatable. I find that now, I know myself well. I do not need the Eclipse to hide anymore.
