PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

“Everyone sees who you appear to be,

But only a select few know who you really are”

You only see what you want to see,

You don’t see the real me.

I stand before you,

Yet hiding myself.    

I’m locked away somewhere inside,

Hidden in a little closet.

All my phony laughs and fake smiles,

You take at face value.

There is so much going on inside me that I just can’t show.

You wouldn’t understand.

“Unless you can see inside my head,

You can't possibly understand.”

All the chaos and turmoil running through my head,

My late night prayer of wishing I were dead.

All this I don’t wish to hide,

But you’d be too afraid if you could see what’s inside.

If I let myself go,

Let you see the real me,

Would you not run off screaming?

Would you not get me a shrink?

Would you not be afraid of me?

Would you still be my friend?
