Here...I...Am.. Poem by miranda shaffer

here i am the real me, i promised myself not to say these things to keep to myself. but the fire burns inside and my tongue feels numb, but just tonight i want you to understand who i really am. not the girl made up of lies, or the mask i hide myslef behind here we are, standing face to face. your too scared to hear what i have to say but the words flood out. and here i am watching the time tick away, as the moon floats in the sky i see it in your eyes. do you understand who i am? not the girl u thought you knew in the end you'll understand it was all because of me in the morning, in the sun light you'll understand because this is who i really am 'you loved me once do you still? now you know me can you see through me now?
