The Man Behind The Curtain

I am seen unnoticed

as much as dead

I show the world hate

I have been treated like dirt

The inside has true love

The love upon very few

I hide behind my emotions

I'm in entrapment everyday

They want me to be just like them

When I'm completely different

As I walk I trip

Over their discouragement

Happiness is lowered

by their hatred towards me

I feel unimportant to the ones I love

Betrayed to my knowledge

Smart, beautiful, sweet

All the things I call myself

But cannot show to the world

It wouldn't matter anyway

One day I will get out of this hole

Dig out and express my true self

To the ones I love and more

Ignore the hateful comments

and finally be the woman

The woman I actually want to be

and to show everyone surrounding me
