Distance
It is as if I am not just one person underneath my skin
Torn with mixed emotions
I keep everyone at a distance not allowing any of them in
Walls were built of concrete with tiny windows to peek through
Nobody really knows me
They only know what I allow them to
So many different aspects of just one person held deep inside
Some I don’t know myself yet
And doubt I ever could despite how hard I tried
Some think of me as stubborn and others think I am weak
Some refer to me as kind hearted
While others assume that I am a ***** before I even speak
Some know me as a hard worker who is honest and who is fair
Others see a clever thief
Who can be reckless without a care
Some have met the romantic with a big heart
A faithful and loyal partner
Who drives them crazy from the start
Some have met the fighter who is strong and never gives up on a dream
A woman who tries n tries
Until she either conquers her desires or realizes it wasn’t as good as it may have seem
Some find me to be creative for always finding ways to make things flow
Never conventional
But always managing to put the pieces together in ways ull never know
Then there are some who see a fun loving person who always lends a hand
Others have seen the intense fears
Although they never understand
A few see a hardened person who speaks what is on her mind
A ***** to some
And to others the kindness person you can find
Nobody sees the whole picture of the many aspects of me
They only see pieces
The pieces I let them see
