It's Not Me That Scares You Poem by Kelly Lushi

it is not my actions in which you are scared of,
or the words in which I speak,
but is the thoughts and feelings,
hidden beneath the exterior platform.
You sit and wonder for many hours 'what's going on inside there? ',
losing sleep and slowly your sanity.
And then like a slap to the face you realise,
what it is that's been hiding under there.
Its the real person underneath,
screaming and pleading to be let out.
