The Real Me
3 December, 2004
Author: Mike
Nobody knows how I feel inside
As all my emotions I struggle to hide.
If you look deep down into my eyes
You will see where my tortured thoughts lie.
With every breath, the tears will rise,
But I swallow them back, slip into my disguise.
A brace face is what everyone sees
But nobody sees the 'real me'.
I'm hiding inside myself.. Somewhere.
Inside my hollow heart, I'm there,
Waiting for my reality to change,
Waiting to rid myself of this rage.
But from what I see now, this will take time.
Things cannot go from bad to fine.
So in the meantime, I slip on my mask
And say "I'm okay" to anyone who asks.
