Midnight Poem

I want to take it all away

Take back what I told you

It changes how you feel about me

I can see it in your eyes

No matter how much you deny

I can hear it in your tone

No matter how much you say no

This is why I don’t

Tell people how I feel

They make assumptions

Most of them aren’t real

And they don’t deserve the burden

It should be mine to bear

Still I can’t help wishing

That someone else would share

Still I can’t help wishing

There was somebody out there

Who would hear all I have to say

And it wouldn’t change the way they thought of me

Or how they looked at me

Or how they acted around me

I have scars that you can’t feel

I wear masks that you don’t see

that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still me

I’m still me
