Hiding

by Nicole - Scorpio

Just because I don't show it,
I still feel pain inside.
I'm no different from anyone else.
I just like my feelings to hide.

I've put on so many faces,
That no one knows the real me.
And everytime I show I have emotions too,
They pretend that they do not see.

Well I'm tired of pretending.
No more masks will I hide behind.
But like everyone else I don't know the real me,
Yet she can't be too hard to find.

I don't care if they don't accept me,
Cuz no more identities will I borrow.
But today I'm fine with hiding,
So I think I'll show them all me tomorrow.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this about a person who never shows who she really is-she always pretends she's someone else-yet she says one day she'll show everyone the real her, but she keeps putting it off until tomorrow.
