You Know Me?

You know me?
So you think
I only open
And disclose
The things
I want you
To know

Even those
The close ones
My loved ones
Don't really know
What goes on
In my head

They see
I smile
Strut my stuff
On the cat walk
I do not talk
Of the tears
My fears

I want to be
Strong
So keep them
From what's wrong
What's going on
What makes me sad
Or hurt like mad

But I'm deep
And seep
And sink
Shouldn't think
Don disguise
I hide me

I protect you
From my blue
So you see
What I want you to
'Cause I love you
You know me?
The me I want you to see

If I Am Strong....

Inspired by @sarahgamal I am Strong poem. If I am strong, Then why when I am trying to be do I start to shake. If I am strong, Then why when I am yelled at tears will spring.

I Feel

I feel Alone All by myself Like no one understands me Like no one cares I feel Unnoticed I have talent, but it goes unappreciated.

I Cry.

Silent tears that I cry Begging for help, begging for mercy My head is swimming with a plethora of buzzing thoughts wanting to get in my way and mess up my mind Sadness.

Origami Faces

On the street such charming faces Mascarade, a hidden plea Covered up with airs and graces Rouge and kohl, origami.

Sometimes

Sometimes I can't sleep. Sometimes I cry deep. Sometimes I can't cope. Sometimes I lose hope. Sometimes I need a pug. Sometimes I can't be too smug. Sometimes I want a kiss.

I May But Not

I may be coping, But not hoping. I may be smiling, But inside crying. I may be stupid, But I can be Cupid. I may repel you, But at least I'm true. I may look gleeful, But I'm also fearful.

@misslittleDHP I think I'm more open on here than in real life. But I've found writing easier to express myself than talking 😊

Nice one😘 I admire people who can keep things to themselves. I spew everything out. Not always wise.

@redfae I'm exactly the same...in my bio for Opuss I state how I feel I communicate better through writing than I do talking as I can appear scatty, which I really try not to be...πŸ’—πŸ’—
