Fear
Confident and graceful
Is what you see
But wait
Is this really me
I fear to tell you
But no
This is only an act you see
This is not the true me
If you look into my eyes
You will see
That all is not as it appears
What lies beneath you wonder
What lies beneath these dark eyes
Is not an act
It is the real me
It is someone who is scared and weak
Someone who is afraid of the world
And afraid of finding her true self
But hush, you mustn't tell
For this is a secret
That not even those
Whom I hold
Close and dear know
Maybe one day
I will let you in
But not now...
