My Secret Ghost

There is a ghost I see She is always right behind me Sometimes she will reveal herself But this is quite rare She is seen in the reflection And I am her protection There are few who get to see her For she is so very shy Set free is she at home And when I am alone Around my family she wonders But few others see her face When you are around She feels no longer bound For you are one who she loves Therefore you know her name Its hard for her to find comfort After she has had so much hurt So to others she is a stranger But not to those she loves I wish the she would stay And not just hide everyday As a shadow behind myself That will never see the light She saves herself for the fortunate few Consisting of mother, father, brother and you I guess we are better off this way Because now she’s a special, secret part of me
