Hidden

The feeling of "nobody knows me" expressed in the form of a poetry.

People know us inside out don't they?

So well that they pick us apart, piece by piece.

Everyone thinks we're a certain way,

They know us better than we do don't they?

Always perfect one said.

Very quiet said the other.

She's nice and happy the third said.

But do you know what runs between the curtains of my eyes?

How many times I've sat in my room and cried?

How many times I've lost hope?

How many times I've been let down?

How many times I've bit my tongue and held back tears?

Yet, it feels all too simple to hurt.

Am I really that weak, I pondered.

It hurts like a knife in the throat

Yet, it's not something that should hurt.

"Everyone's watching"

"Just be happy"

"Be normal for once"

Nobody knows me.
