The Real Me

by Christy Craig - Libra

The Real Me

People think they know the real me
But, they don't
They only know the person I want them to see
Hiding behind my true self

If I were to reveal myself
I would scare the people I love most
I am nothing but a shell
A person looking outside myself

You look at me and see a girl
Who has all the wonderful things
But dont believe what you see
Thats not the real me

The real me is a person scared
Scared of the whole world
And the things around it
A bleeding heart indulging this pain

Sometimes I see myself outside of my body
Looking at all my actions
And think to myself what a scary thought
Its like a tunnel that I am looking down

The room spins out of control
I panic inside thinking will they find me out
Will they notice the real me?
What will they think?

Will they run in terror thinking
This girl is crazy
Lets just lock her away
Stay back for you will never know the real me.
