You Who Will Leave

I WEAR MANY MASKS SO YOU CAN’T SEE WHO I AM.
I RUN WHEN I CAN.
SO MUCH PAIN!
I COULD TELL YOU 
BUT, I HIDE FROM LIFE IT’S TRUE.
EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD NOT FIGHT,
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT’S RIGHT.
SCARED AND CONFUSED,
I HAVE BEEN ABUSED.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN ACUSED OF BEING OUTGOING
BUT NIEVE AND LOVING.
SO WHEN I LEAVE REMEMBER
I CAN’T GREIVE.
MAYBE IT WILL BE YOU WHO WILL LEAVE.
