I try and hide the pain I feel
I put on a pretty face
But when I succeed,
I fail
What you see is not what is real

They all think I’m fine
But inside,
I’m hurting
I don’t know what it is,
Or how to stop it
I want the pain to go away

For some reason I know that you see
You see the real me
You see through my charades,
My stupid masquerades
And see me
My pain and I
Chained together ever so tightly

You know how I feel
But I won’t let you help me
I want to be left alone
But you won’t let me
You’re determined to help
To relieve my pain

All this because you love me
Because you think so much of me
Even though I don’t deserve your thoughts, your feelings, or your time
You’re still willing to set me free
I see that you won’t let go of me

And truth be told,
I’m thankful
Because I love you too
I’ve been in this pit so long, so alone
I need someone to help me
Till now, I had forgotten what another voice had sounded like
Because till now, mine was the only one I could hear
So help me

This mask has deprived everything from me
Who I am
Who I wanted to be
It’s all lost
Help me take this mask off
And find myself again

who loves them like this. Thanks for sharing this with us.

thanx. yes.. "find myself again" the again just states that i had known who i was before all this, and i need to know myself again.

i'm glad you liked my poem. ^_^ poetry is a wonderful means of expressing how you feel and is definately a stress reliever. i will continue to post and thanx for your encouragement. (pardon the spelling) ^_^

this was a beautiful piece. I completely understand what you mean when you say you have to find yourself again. It's funny how over time you change so much and you don't even know what you want anymore. Very great work, hope to see more of you
