The Real Me

Sat, 08/30/2014 - 16:50 -- MHigg14

I am sweet.     I am tame.      Behind the cutain so full of pain.      I am fun.      I always try.         Behind the curtain I can't help but cry.       I am cute.          I like to play.         Behind the curtain, loyalty I will stay.        You never know what you'll see.      I'm gay so my dad threatened to move me out of the country.        I am so quiet, you can see.       This girl loved me then let me bleed.       I'm always laughing.     I act so proud.        Behind the curtains I've got my head in the clouds.    I'm a dreamer,     Dreams that no one will see.          Because I'm stuck behind these curtains few will ever wittness me.        The loving me,        the broken me,        the vulnerable,        the weak,       the ugly, the real,        Me.
