Wondering Who Am I?

Sometimes I wonder inside of myself

Why do I say this, what did I mean?

Honestly inside myself

I don’t know who I am

Or why I am here in this awful place

I try to make myself believe that it will

Forever be okay

THough inside my heart,

I know that this will never be true

Realizing what I have done to myself

Realizing what others have done to me

Realizing what I have done to others

Not wanting to let people see

Who I really am

The real me is a person that no one would care to know

Run away Run away is all I feel everyday

Run away from myself, from the inside of my mind

Run away from others who want to know the inside of my mind

Though they will never truly know

Because I do not even know myself

I need to know who I am

He needs to know who I am

Does he love me for me?

Or who he thinks I am?

The person I pretend to be

Is the person that he fell in love with

The person I am is a person he has never seen

I love him with all of my heart

And want to show him “me”

I am afraid of what he will say when he realizes that I am not me
