I smile,

But I tear.

I laugh,

But I cry.


You see me as I show you,

You know me as I allow you.


So, if you were to know how I feel,

Then know,

Know it's because I let you see.


For a glimpse of me is a risk,

a danger.


And if you were to see me, as me,

That wound, you would cut deeper,

And turn,

And leave.
