Why?

Why can I never escape from the tears?

Why can't I get past my fears?

If only I could be myself for once,

With no fear of what people would think of me.

Maybe if I could be myself,

Then I would be able to get past all this pain

That I keep hidden inside of me.

Few people have seen the real me,

And they have helped me more than they know.

The pain I hold inside

Is the reason I can't get past everything.

I need to put my past behind me 

And focus on the future.

I need to force the tears away

And push through this.

With the help of the few true friends I have,

I might be able to do it...

Very interesting. Definitely shows the power that pain and fear can have on a person. Good poem.
