Weakness

I know my real weakness.

I always shy away from the looks I get.

Brush past the sympathetic faces,

People pretending to understand why I feel,

I am thought to be so fragile and weak.

Just dig a little deeper, and you will see why.

Little do you ever know, nor will ever see,

I hide from you my real weakness.

I am not weak because I show my emotion.

Weakness is not being able to cry.

Embarrassment is not because I show what I feel.

I just shy away from the looks I seem to get.

When my thoughts bubble into sadness.

I cant help but see the looks I get.

But I know you will never know the real reason,

The real me.

I was reading my first poetry book (Reality, it is in the external link...) the other day, and I was thinking about how much my writing style has changed... If you don't know what I mean then just go read the first poem in Reality, and see the difference between that one, and this one. I feel like I have progressed, in a positive way, and I like my poetry better now, but what do you think? I would love feedback! Thanks! :)
