Outer shell

I am shy 

I hide behind my shell

A fake 'Me'

To ward away emotions

I could not speak 

So I didn't 

I sat there quietly

While 'They' judged me

A passive person 

with no opinions 

Easily controlled

That is what 'They' see

How stupid

even an idiot can use simple words

What a fool

Trying to escape the crowd

This is not 'Me'

I do not belong

Struggling to find myself

I lost 'Me'

I couldn't stand the judging

So I created a new self

Spilt in two

Neither knew of the other

This was the birth of 'Them'

One a condescending loner

Observing and judging everything

Cold and cruel

Emotionless

One a hero 

Loved by everyone

But only in daydreams,

Neither one was 'Real'

What do I feel?

I cannot tell

I am not real

I am a shell

What a lonely world

With lonely logic 

What a sad sad thing

A fake me

This is not 'Me'

I do not belong

Singing my lonely song

I lost 'Me'

this describes how I have felt before. keep up the good work. please review my story. I think your poem has inspired me to deepen my character Lyra. She is very much torn in two at times.

Awe, this poem was sad. I can relate to it though. I have been through that before. I loved the emotions in this though. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
