The Real Me


I hide my true self To protect myself from society. My outgoing personality hides behind the curtain by itself And I act lie a shy girl in entirety. At school I'm a quiet, innocent girl Because whatever I do will be remembered. I'm like a hidden pearl Deep in a dark ocean anchored. Only a limited amount of people Are given the opportunity to open the curtain. But many people closed it after the prequel Which made me hide for certain. I am described as loud and insane By people who truly know me: my best friends. I conceal this up so to others I seem sane And to prevent judging 'til the ends. The whispering behind people's backs Is what prevents me from pulling the curtain. I have already fallen through many cracks And I'm not going to be the same person.
