To Save Everyone From Me

by Nicole M. - Gemini

An extreme on the outside
To shelter the world from the inside-
Just kindness and love
Will come from me-
The hate I have from an early age
Would only distort and blow-up
The unkind thoughts in  my head.
You'll be someone I could care for
And for a moment or so,
I'll let you-
Soon I should realize
I'll only hurt you
I'll be what chases you away
And take the heartache.
Keep my chest locked
To everyone else but me--
The things I have to share in here
Will just envoke fear and shame
From you.....from me.
You will not love or want
What I have in there-
You've stumbled on a crystal
Only part of the iceberg.
No judgement you hold
Has grounds to stand.
I will peak inside
Now and then
to remind myself who I really am,
Touch the velvet
Touch the lace
And let that single tear take it's place.
