A Child
I have a confession to make.
I am not who they portrayed;
Beneath the “steel” exterior
Lies a child who afraid of breaking barriers
Always hide behind the curtain
Because I’m afraid I’ll be abandoned.
I have a confession to make.
I am not who my mother portrayed;
Beneath the “strong” appearance,
Lies a child who wants her acceptance.
Always strive to gain her praise,
But then give up in midway.
I have a confession to make.
I am not who I portrayed;
Beneath the usual smile,
Lies a frighten child.
Always pretend to brave,
But it’s your care that I crave.
