"Why do you always keep your head down? Be proud of who you are" someone said.
I don't keep my head down because I'm shameful.
No, not shameful of myself.
I know that I am who I am.
But people don't seem to know that.
I don't keep my head down
to hide from myself
I keep it down to hide it from people.
So they won't see
the hurt I hold.
Because inside
I'm so broken
so shattered
someone might cut themselves
Just by looking.
