Me

Contributed by drummerchic18 on Wednesday, 14th July 2004 @ 10:47:47 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles

Who do I see
When I open my eyes?
Is it the person I am
or someone I don't want to be?

What do I see
When I look deep inside?
Is it the real me
or the mask I'm fond of?

With whom can I share
all my hurt and pain?
Who would understand
everything I desire to be?

Why can't I feel
what's so deep inside?
I try to let loose
yet struggle to survive.

I'm stuck in between
the person I am
and the one people see
Why is it so hard just to show someone me?

To face the world each day
I seem all alone
[I] use to wear my heart on my sleeve
but now inside I grieve.

Who could I let in
to discover the truth
Who would not run scared
in response to all the thoughts I share?

Tell me, is this the way it goes?
Tied up in fear?
Scared to face myself
God, please don't leave me here

I can relate. I was afraid to show other who really was. I pretended to be somethign that i wasnt, and my deppresion form that consumed me. Then i told ppl who i really was, some people liked it..and some didnt to a point they call me names,. make fun of me,. even spit on me once. But i dont care. Im not ashamed of who i am. and its better that i told them. I hope you can do this to..and not let the negetivety get you down.. take care
