this isn't me

by tia & virgo - Not entered

there is a wall set up
  between you and me.
it keeps you from getting to
  know me.
I pretend everday,
  the things that I hide.
I wonder if anyone will know
  the feelings inside.
when will the masquerade 
  ever end?
when will I ever have one
  true friend?
a friend who sees me for
  who I really am.
a friend that NO MATTER what
  will always understand.
understand that I want to
  be free.
understand, that what people see,
  ISN"T ME!

Reason for writing:

    I submitted this because I know that a lot of people are always pretending to be someone they really aren't...
Why must we pretend?  something to ponder....
