Behind these Eyes, Behind the Curtain
Location
Behind these eyes shows who I really am
What you have seen , is just a mask
I look so brave with fire in my eyes
But in my heart there is a surprise
I seem strong and always happy
The truth is within I am lonely and sappy
You see me as an inspiration that strives
I see myself as a lost pretender confused with life
What you see is a brave soldier with an angry look in her eyes
The truth is I am a warrior with a caring soul and gentle features
You see me as someone who has no fears, like just a creature
No one is flawless, I have had my scares and I am also human
Behind this curtain I hide behind
Is a girl whose trying just to survive
I am the girl that everyone barely noticed
But little do they know I am determined and focused
I have had my smiles and I have had my tears
All those previous fears no longer can tear me
I am the most caring person if only you could see me
My true potential to save lives and help people
No one deserves to be mistreated or bullied
Therefore I am secretly there for people who need it
I have been hiding behind a curtain as you can see
But with this poem it is finally my time to break free
What prevents me from holding back the curtain as you may see
Is the fact that no one would understand the girl underneath the shadow
A girl who fights, cares, worries and has doubts
But is secretly a girl who wants to spread her wings
With this society, no one would accept the real me
