The Real Me

The real me

Is who I want to be

I'm alive yet dead

The feeling called "love" is what I shed

People juss look into my eyes

And they know what I am all about

There are few who can see

See the true me

The rest are mislead

I paint a mask

With colors like a rainbow

Forming my outershell

The real me hides below

Some think I am an "angel in disguise"

Others think I am a stranger who is "very wise"

I am who I am

I am who I'm not

Do you see?

I see a lot

Tears wash everything out of sight

I am alone at night

With only me and my ways

I am an easel

A paintbrush in my hand

I can be who I want

Only I know... hush!
