My True Self
They talk, they laugh all around me.
Standing here alone, I want to join.
They see me and I see them.
To them I am shy
But, that’s just the face I put on.
On the inside, I am a girl.
Smart, Talkative, Fun.
But they don’t know me.
I hide who I am.
All people hide their true selves.
I do, because I’m scared.
Scared of judgment.
Scared of pain.
Letting people in
Just so they can walk away.
I want to be myself.
I want people to see me for me
And not this shy girl that they see.
I can do it.
One at a time.
A person here
A person there
Slowly people start to see me
For me.
