There's another side to me

Happy as a chirping bird

Lucky to speak and be heard

Not afraid to try and learn

Not afraid to err and turn

Floating despite gravity

Insane but for sanity

Too content to be hateful

Too honest to be Deceitful

This is what I show to you

This is what you like to see

 

But there is another side to me

That doesn't like to be seen

Fear of not being good enough

Inability to keep up tough

Ambition enough to be cruel

Cold, rigid and revengeful

Anxious need to be alone

Afraid that the side being shown

And the side that grew inside

Would at once, come to light.

 

I pray every single day,

For the veiled side to go away

But it’s there and will stay

Forever, as the side I can’t share.

So if you think you know me well,

You are a victim of betrayal

If you know and choose to stay,

I still can’t make all the dark go away

But I promise I’ll bury it deep inside

And lock it there all through my life.
