Feelings We Hide.


Why do we hide our feelings?
Is there a reason for this?
Or is it a natural response,
To hide things we want people to miss?
Do we hide them as well as we think?
Or can people see through our guise?
Do we live in denial of who we are?
Tell me, is that at all wise?

Things are never as they seem to be,
I've said this often enough, that's true,
But never did I think I would be sussed,
By a friend, and that friend is you!
You know me well my friend,
I was very surprised and shocked,
That you could describe my inner feelings so well,
I think my confidence was knocked?

But in hindsight it tells me this,
You know me well and true,
For you described me to a T,
This fact proves to me you do!
I'm astounded at your insight,
That says a lot about you,
The mere fact you know me so well,
Tells me your a good friend through and through!

I hide the real me from the world,
It's buried deep inside,
But in one swift fell, you looked into my heart,
And the true me I could no longer hide.
But, shhhhhh, please don't tell,
Because I don't like people to know,
The workings of my mind,
Or the real part of me on show.

Tis our little secret,
And we all have those to hide,
Nothing nasty or malicious,
Just a way of protecting our pride!
So yes my friend, you know me well,
You saw inside my heart and head,
The real me, the one you don't see,
But the one I hide instead!

So shhhhhh, please don't tell,
Tis just between you and I,
Our little secret, non harming,
And only we know why!
