My Secret

There are things you don't know,
Things that I don't tell you.
You only know what I've told,
Only what I've shown.

You can't see it,
The many things I hide.
You don't know it,
You think you know everything.

The me you see,
She's only a fake.
You don't see the real me,
I don't allow you to.

I don't want you to see her,
The me I hide inside.
She is wounded and broken,
Tortured, hurt and crying.

You have no clue,
You never will.
You don't know the real me,
You'll only know the fake.

Those who want to know will dig a little deeper. Take a chance and let them in.

This is me ..! Though I hate to admit it !! I don't let ppl know how bad they've hurt me because that only shows them how vulnerable I'm and how their actions can affect me ! I drink it all in and walk straight, without sparing them another glance . But in the end I've no regrets , because these people learn it the hard way never to mess up with me . I totally love this poem :D ( P.s Sorry about the pointless rant ) ;)
