If You Really Knew Me Poem by Aliyah Houston

If you really knew me, you'll understand
the world that lies, inbetween my hands
underneath my smile
underneath my style
underneath the person I play
the image I portray in the game of life
if you really knew me, you'll understand
why I am, the way I am
why I would cry, for no reason at all
why my life, acts as a huge fall
and when I cry, I don't know who to call
why I write poems, to express my feelings
why I think love, will fulfill my healings
if you really knew me
you'll understand why I am, the person I am
