Lorna Safronick Poet Free verse

Can You See the Real Me

I hide myself away from the world

The need to protect myself is strong

Afraid of rejection and judgement 

Never letting my insecurities outwardly show

I plaster a big smile on my face

But I really don’t feel like smiling 

I wear a mask of humour 

I deflect with sarcasm 

But that’s not who I really am

I long to meet someone special 

Who can make my heart soar

Someone who sees past my flaws

I could put my defences down

I could be myself for a change 

I will keep on searching 

For the one to set me free

Someone willing to take a chance 

Can you see the real me?
