me

Location

hey, i’m me.

no, i’m not the me you see.

i have masks i like to wear.

they smile and laugh without a care.

but that’s not me.

not the real me.

i actually cry myself to sleep.

sometimes i laugh.

sometimes i weep.

i have no filter in my mind.

i say bad words of every kind.

i tilt my head.

i change my view.

then i can see through you.

i can see who you really are.

i can see your dreams and scars.

but you cannot see through me.

you see the me that is not me.

i want something that isn’t cold.

a friend to have – a hand to hold.

the love piano music portrays.

the love that never turns my way.

would you hear my heartfelt plea?

can you please find me?
