True Me
A poem about the Me the world sees vs the Me inside.
See me?
Face on display;
Eyes full of silent plea.
This mask is used for overlay.
False me.
Head bowed,
Eyes not meeting.
Deep thoughts ne’er voiced aloud;
An inner voice sounds defeating.
Thoughtful.
Mirror,
Lying stranger.
Wish the view was clearer;
Or at least, come with a changer!
Match me!
Soft tone,
Calm expression.
Looking at me unknown;
Some glare with mad indiscretion.
Love me!
Carefree,
In my own skin.
Being a bel esprit;
Not caring about your chagrin.
True me!
