If Only Poem by Austin Ayers

If only people knew my true side
If only they knew the same thing you do
All they see is the way I hide
But they don't even have a clue
Very few know who I truly am
'Cause no one else really cares
About all my feelings, crowded like a dam
Though my love stands out, just like a flare
Will you stop by the flare to embrace it
Or will you douse it, will you even notice
I just want the love to fit
So it can go into your focus
If only people knew my true side
But all they see, is the way I hide
