Behind the Curtain


They think I am tough, they think I am mean, But many things aren't as they seem. I am a soft-hearted, teary-eyed girl. I am not like the rest of the world. I want to love with open arms, But I am afraid of being harmed. My emotions are juggled within my brain. No one knows my eternal pain. I have many burdens. This is the life I live, behind the curtain.
