Me

I built this image of myself, A guise I hide behind. No one ever sees the "me", Or parts of any kind. The shaking, fearing, inner child, That cries when no one’s there. To hold the lies of many fears, The thought of no one’s care. Sadly written for a friend suffering on meth.

Wonderful piece, in honor of a person who could use a professional nurse. My cousin was on meth. His live-in love's mother, a registered nurse, moved them both three states away and stayed with them until they were clean. They were lucky!
