Hiding! ! Poem by Becky Ginn

I’m laughing but crying, smiling but screaming
Always hiding whats realy me.
People see me as the loud one, always ready to stand up for myself and my mates,
The girl who never gets scared and doesn’t let things get to her.
But can they see that's just a front?
The mask I wear, my costume for this life.
Can they see I’m just scared inside
Scared of letting some-one in, putting down my guard and letting the real me be seen! !
