Can you see me

The real me

Not the person I try to be

But Me

Just me..

I'm scared of me

I'm a menace

To even myself, it seems

I pretend I'm ok

I'm always ok, always

But I'm not.  I'm scared

Horrified, mortified

of what will become of me

as the shadow is allowed home again

his fingers curling around my neck

he shows the real me

Not the person i try to be

as I beg for him to stop

Please don't hurt me anymore..

I'm sorry.

The real me.
