Tired



Do you really know me

my innermost, my soul

the core of my heart



Do you really know me

my pain and suffering

behind my smile



Do you really know me

behind my tearfull eyes

locked inside



Do you really know me?



No,



You don't know me,

because you only

see me your way



You don't want to know

my inner me

my soul

my tears make you mad

my weakness

is a thorn in your eyes

being hard

is what you prefer



But that's not me

and the time

coming near

that I will

disappear



Cause I'm tired

so tired

tired

to be not me.

I once wrote a poem expressing the same message. I printed this one out. Great job! I feel this way about so many people I know.

This is a really good poem...one that I think many people can relate to. I especially like the line "....because you only see me your way". Well done...and thank you for your kind comments on my two poems, A Love For All Eternity and Passion's Dream. I appreciate your words. Peace, LadyHawke :-)
