There's people all around
As far as the eye can see
But nobody understands
What its like to be me
I'm hiding inside myself
The real me never shows
All at once I feel trapped
And nobody even knows
I'm locked inside this cage
Dying to be set free
As if an angel sent from Heaven
You somehow found a key
As the real me slowly came out
I wondered how the cage was made
Why did I feel the need
To put up such a facade
Nobody seemed to notice
When I wasn't me one day
So what's the point in being me
If it doesn't matter either way
So I pretended I was someone else
My true thoughts I'd never bare
But I thank you for bringing me out
And all you did was care
i love it! that's a great poem
'holds her close' you are a beautiful and talented young lady to write such pieces of art. speaking from your soul is some of the best poetry that can ever be written
