You Think You Want To Know Me

You think you want to know me. I'm afraid you may not yet be ready to see. I may have a kind heart, but a dark head and past were the start. I got lost in this day to day.. For it was the only way. Here is where I shall choose to stay. I can't be allowed to remain focused on the past. Around that I've built this cast. That will remain forever, but shouldn't last. You could say I'm lost and I don't want to be found. I am free, yet to here I am forever bound. Sometimes this world is so much louder when there is no sound. You want to see the person I no longer wish to be. The person from which I would now flee. I present my new and improved self to thee. I'm sorry that you miss what's no longer here, but I've put that in my rear-view mirror. This is who you get now my dear. I am presented before you on bended knee. Is this who you want to see? Do you think you're truly ready to know me?
