Nobody Knows the Real Me

Nobody Knows the Real Me

You say you know me.
But really – do you?

Do you see my pain
or count unwashed tears?

Have you witnessed horrors
that no child should know?

Do you freeze in terror
when nightmares come true?

Do you celebrate a smile
feeling the joy of laughter?

You can’t see the world
through my eyes – you aren’t me.

You think you do, but
nobody knows the real me.
