    If You Saw

       If you saw me,
    Would you say I was okay?
    If you saw me,
    Would you say it's a phase?
    If you saw me,
    You'd be in a daze

      But I don't want you to see me,
    I want you to believe,
    That I'm still okay,
    That I'll be okay someday.

      It's not really hurting
    If you're already hurt,
    I can't let you see me,
    What if you don't love me,
    I can't let you see me,
    If I can't show myself.

    Change it all!, cover it with color! Give and love, don't be friends with a judger!. Be yourself, sad or not, we all have sorrow, we all have loss. Bury it, write it down, nail it to a tree. A part of you it will always be. They'll love you for who they think you are or they will go away. At least then there will be room for someone else some day, who knows we all have hurts, shames, and sorrows. Paint it on your t-shirt, draw it on a wall. But get it out, or someone else will also fall. Secrets suck. Write on...

    Actually . . I'm the judger. I judge myself a lot, and I find it hard to be myself, even when I'm by myself.

    I like this poem. It seems like there is some kind of hurt inside the writer that she doesn't want anybody to see or come out. It's good to write what you feel! It helps in making you heal!

    Uh . . . Wow. You kinda got it spot on. ^^;; It's hard to write it sometimes, sometimes it's too personal or might hurt people.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
