What Lies Beneath the Surface

Those who know me

know I have nothing to hide

but do they truly konw

what's hidden deep inside

 

A secret so dark

not a soul I would tell

for fear of what would happen

if on it their minds did dwell

 

A mystery to all

to all but me

my misguided friends

my blind family

 

Nobody notices

what's hidden below

it's a maze of sorts

through which none can go

 

None but me

that is of course

only I have the key

to this locked door

 

I'm scared to share

it hurts to hide

impossible to get rid of

I know, I've tried

 

I wish I could

but those I've shown

have left or not cared

leaving me to deal alone

This poem is about: 
Me

Thank you, not a lot of people think I am a good poet, and I hide it from others

because they think that it is a stupid thing for someone like me to do, but it is good

to have someone who thinks otherwise
