This secret side of me

This secret side of me

A Poem by shawnt5604

Feeling it from deep within
Though currently just beneath the skin
I don't know how much longer I can hide
This secret side of me

Every time I start to begin
Thinking of all the games I didn't win
In this mysterious game known as life
I hold back this secret side of me

This side of me
Now wanting to explode
The side that for years
Would never show

But now that I'm crying
I'm done with all the lying
No more hiding
This secret side of me

Tonight
It all comes out
Tonight
This spirit leaves no doubt
Because you all will see
This secret side of me

The rage
For so long caged
But now I'm at an age
That I can set my own stage

See falling is easy
Its getting back up
That becomes the problem
But I'm old enough now
That I know how to solve them

So the next time you see me
Don't hesitate
Just try to believe
What you see
Welcome to
This secret side of me
