I'm not so sure
Who you think I am
I'm dark
Lonely
And hidden from everyone
There's only a part of me that shows
My small smile
My light bright brown skin
And my shyish charm
That's what shows
But my suicidal thoughts
And my thoughts of hurting myself
They never show
They never emerge from the dark well of my heart
No one ever sees it now
And they never will
They'll never mistake my smile for falsehood
They'll never know the thoughts in my mind
Or any of my true feelings or opinions
So I'm not so sure you know who I am
You only know what I want you to
And that was never me, not the real me
No one truly knows who I am. I only let them see what I want them to. Including my family.
