Afraid Behind My Curtain

Mon, 08/25/2014 - 18:52 -- AlyG316

Behind the curtain I stand

afraid of who I am

hiding the person they see from the man that I am.

in truth I am shattered

a million tiny pieces.

swept under the rug and covered by those teases

Fearful to let them down

I still smile

though I am broken behind the curtain they see.
