This is not me

You see a ray of sunshine.
I feel this stray of darkness.
I want to scream and whine!
Feeling like dirt; but less.
I'm not really who I am.
I'm not really who you know.
I try so hard and pretend.
But really I put on a show.
I don't want you to see.
I can't mess things up.
You can't know the real me.
So for now I'll pretend to be tough.
I am week inside.I am kind of depressed.
And it will always hide,
Deep inside my chest.
You see a ray of sunshine.
I feel a stray of darkness.
I want to scream and whine!
Feeling like dirt; but less.

I like this; it's honest, an all too accurate view of what too many people do, hiding themselves from the world behind the masks that people want to see. Don't be afraid to let the real you out, it often works out better when you do.
