Hidden

The feeling of "nobody knows me"

People know us inside out don't they?

So well that they pick us apart, piece by piece.

Everyone thinks we're a certain way,

They know us better than we do, don't they?

Always perfect, one said.

Very quiet, said the other.

She's nice, the third said.

But do you know what runs behind the curtain of my eyes?

Yet, it feels all too simple to hurt.

Am I really that weak, I ponder.

It hurts like a knife in the throat.

Yet, it's not something that should hurt.

"Everyone's watching"

"Just be happy"

"Be normal for once"

Nobody knows me.
