I Too

I too have a past that I hide from
I too have side I can’t escape
And I too have me I hate
I am about as lost as you
My patience is great, but is wearing thin
I have anger problems too
And although I seem calm on the out side
Inside I’m broken and shaken and troubled
I know you are smarter and kinder than I
But I have that side too
Suppressed in its cage where it can’t cause me pain
You see the mask that I wear, so crafty am I
And although you are closer than most
You can’t see the me inside
I’m scared and I’m frighten of you
And your criticizing, analyzing, eye’s
I’m scared that if you found out the real me
You would not want me and you would flee
My heart just can’t take that kind of betrayal
Why can’t you see what you mean to me
No I’m not perfect, and I don’t want to be
My biggest hope is that you’ll love me for me
