Nataly Rodriguez Poet Free verse

Who am I?

How should I tell them?
Tell them who I really am-
How I feel,
How I act.

Will they still love me?
Will they still care for me?
Will they be there for me?

Something I will never know.
Something lost out there.
Something I will probably never see.

That part of me is hidden.
Buried so deep,
other wounds are already piled
on top of it.

Alison A Smith September 8, 2026 at 4:41 AM This is a deeply moving free-verse poem that captures the uncertainty of revealing one’s true self with striking honesty. The repeated questions create a pulse of anxiety and longing, while the final image of hidden hurt buried beneath older wounds leaves a powerful, lingering emotional weight.
