The Side of Me
Saturday 3 rd March 2012Nobody really thinks
Of me.
They take me for granted
They don't see
When I'm trying to say something
But there's no sound
When I want to follow
But I'm stuck to the ground
When they I fade into the background
Like an extra on a set.
When people smile at me
Like I'm some loser they've never met.
It seems like nobody knows my name,
My friends, my family, it's all just the same.
I get a little bold, then
Bam! Smashed down.
Driven back by an insult
Or a frown.
I try to smile,
I try to laugh
But in truth
They only see half
Of the person I'm hiding inside
To hide her I have always tried.
She is small and easily scared
She is quiet and has no teeth bared.
She rubs her hands,
She has nothing to say
She wants to follow,
But she must stay.
She is ordered
And bossed around
Her real side
Is tossed around
On a sea of different feelings
Of broken promises and dealings
A little boldness here and there
But she has always had a flair
Of feeling very out of place
Her curtain of hair hides her face.
This side of me I hide everyday
The side of me, unlike me in anyway.
