Just Like Me Poem by Niamh Gold

You seem so different than me,
On the outside an the in.
You seem brittle and tough,
Frozen in time.
You act as if you know the boy you truly are,
No more than a bully in the eyes of someone like me.
Yet, I sometimes wonder, are we so different,
You make me scared,
and from the look in your eyes, I know you are scared too.
You make me sad,
Yet, somehow I think you make yourself sad.
So why carry on?
Do you want help?
Do you want me to understand you as who you truly are?
Somebody that's just like me.
