The Real Me
Location
I walk around thinking every night,
Wondering why nothing seems right.
We all have moments where we pretend,
Even if it isn't right in the end.
But they wouldn't let me be,
I tried to hide the real me.
A lifetime goes by and I still hide,
I wish I would've died.
Maybe life would be easier without me,
Because no one would like what they see.
No one would like the real me.
With the pills in one hand and water in the other,
I think why not,
I'll never have a lover.
I thought of that wonderful place I couldn't hear,
Because the end seemed so near.
That place were it wouldn't matter who I was,
Because there it never does.
I could be who I wanted to be,
I could be the real me.

This poem is super deep, man. Find what you love and find what you want to do. Don't care about what other people think, and honestly, I do what I want by myself. I don't need other people to approve of what I do, I just have fun by myself. It's kind of sad, but I know I'm a person I like to hang around and if no one else wants to, then hey! I've got a good reason to hang out with myself! Just some thoughts coming from a well-off, but often lonely person..

This poems is really empowering. But I promise there will be that one person who loves you through the good times and bad. They will love you for the real person beneath that mask. It is depressing but Im glad you express yourself. If you need someone to talk to i am here. Please read my poems and tell me what you think.
