Written at a time when I felt I was hiding from everyone because I didn’t want to be honest with anyone because I thought they would be judgmental and reject me.
The real me has been hiding/because I thought that was better/than being seen for who I am/fearful of being judged and rejected yet again/when did I start trying to hide myself from others/what was the reason/what was the event/what were the circumstances/that led me to believe/that everyone would leave me/
The real me is hurting/the real me is scared on the inside/it’s hard to explain because/I don’t think you’d understand/If your heart was broken/would you let others see it/or would you try to wall it off/when your life came crashing down/when people offered you suggestions on what/they believe could be different/
Would it hurt you/if I told you that I needed a better friend/would it hurt you if the real me/said somethings that you had never heard before/is it because I have hidden myself for so long/that when it comes out I think that’s it’s wrong/to share my thoughts/to share my cares/to share my emotions/
The real me is in hiding/would you be patient and help me find it/or would it be too much to ask/knowing you had better things to do/and a family to go back to/would you spend the day/walking with me/even if it meant/looking at the river/and wondering where it leads/
