I often feel
Like I'm hiding
A part of myself
Whether it's my
Face behind makeup
Hair behind products
Body behind clothes
Or my heart
Behind a carefully
Constructed wall
Positioning just right
For every picture
Speaking just right
For every group
Giving up just enough
Of who I am
To protect myself
From everyone else
Because if I did
Let you in
What would you think
What would you see
What would you say
Would you judge me
For all of my flaws
Or would accept me
Inspite of it all
