This Is Me

by

Sherene Delgado

I live in this cloudy world I've created for myself
No sunlight coming in
No life dwelling inside
Evil is what you call me
How I will always be to you
No person can change me
Because I do not want to be changed
Sinner
Manipulator
Deceiver
This is how you see me
You don't know me
If you did you would know that is not who I am
You see me as being cold hearted
Never realizing it was not by choice
But out of necessity
This is how I protect myself
How I survived
But you couldn’t understand that
You never realized the fear I had inside
The fear of being hurt
The fear of having my heart torn once again
A pain that I fought so hard to forget
You said I could trust you
That you would accept me for who I am
I knew you could never accept the true me
You tried to change me
But couldn't
Now this shell I've made for myself is forever here
To protect the person no one could accept

Why don't you look at FOILED AGAIN
