There are things about me
that you do not know
Things about myself
that I only think I know
Internal dilemas
and
misunderstood motives
wrapped
and bundled
up tightly inside me
an empty
barrne, desolate pit
left lonely
alone in life
without anything
or anyone
Inside I am
who I am
but no one knows that perosn
I am the mask I wear
You see the lies I live
Close your eyes to the blinding hatred
reflected off of me
Open your eyes
delve deeply into me
see the sad and scared child
hiding within
Feel the pain
the sorrow
the slowly-healing scars
left alone
without
inside of me
