Am i 2 4ever remain in the shadow of myself Not me,the me i portray The uncaring,unfeeling,and insensitive woman they see Am i 2 4ever hide under my pain Smiling from within but all they see is an icy stare The cold glare i give them 2 cover my laughter When will i be able 2 show my true self 2 expose the bare nakedness of me With all my flaws,my desires,and my joy Would u see me through the same eyes/ Could they handle my ups and downs? No,they couldn't So until the day i find someone who searches under the rubble and dirt that has been thrown carelessly into my soul They look 2 find the real me The me no one has seen Until then...i will close myself up 2 the world And remain in the shadow of myself hidden under my pain
Reason for writing:
Sometimes i feel like no one will love me if the knew all about me.My close friends know how silly i am but i am a very shy person.If i don't feel comfortable around u i won't act like myself.i'll be very withdrawn and some people that just got 2 know me said i was stuck up even. But one day i'll get over that fear.Thanx
