Who Knows Me Poem by Katherine Pinero

Who knows me in my midst of silence
When the noise ache in my inner self
Wanting to speak out but sound stupid
Then trap that voice in my head, treat it as beast friend

Who knows me by my deeds and desire
When crowd leads me to their expectation
Wanting more thought I didn't settle for less
Seem complicated, but I do it in my ways and means

Who knows me or call me by my name
When they need nothing, but just wanted me
Wanting to help but with hidden needs just covered in mask
Institutions and reasons are great escape for these

Who knows me by face without make-up
When the faking starts within myself
Wanting to hide those scars in my face
But the truth that's all that left for me

Who knows me by the way I dress and walk
When people tend to judge without knowing
Wanting to know it all, but in the end of the day
The only person who knows me is me.
