Hidden from the world

[The Reclaimer]

This is a poem I did when I was pissed that everyone thought they knew me but no one does because I don't let, them.

Here I am
Standing right before you
But you can't see me
My lies distract you
This mask I wear won't let you see
The real me
How I feel
What I want to say
Never to be revealed
Because I'm scared you'll turn away
I pretend to be happy
It's all an act
I'm really scared and insecure
I pretend I don't care
But it's all a cover
It's easier to pretend I feel no pain from another
Than to admit that I feel alone
I write this in pain
It will continue as I go on
And this mask will one day fall
I'll be myself for all to see
But until that day
No one will know the real me
