"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.
