Behind The Mask Poem by Soul Searcher

You kill me with your prying eyes
Reading what's inside my heart
My secrets most precious
Revealed against my will
The furthest I've let anyone
Wishing I could undo
What I have done
I've let you in
When I should've shut the door
So why didn't I before?
But now you know
Almost everything
And I'm helpless
Helpless against your watching gaze
Waiting to absorb
To learn who I am
When I wish to hide
I could beg you
To leave me alone
But I know better than to try
Because I have a weakness
I wish to stay unknown
Unjudged, and uncompared
To my poetry
But it's too late, I know
Wish I never told you
Who I really am
At least I had a shelter
A place to hide my thoughts
But now there's no place left to run
Where your eyes won't follow
So I five up, despairingly
Knowing, it's time to move on
