Just Like You Poem by Kelsey Gallant

You expect me to know it all
You think I can never fall
If only you could see what lies behind the veil of age
Just because I'm older doesn't mean I know it better
Just cause I did it once doesn't mean I'll remember how forever
Look beyond the vision of my face

Now you see me, now you don't
Now I know it, then I won't
Impassive eyes are a mask to my insecurity
Don't expect infallibility
Because soon you will know and soon you will see
That what was once gold
Is now dirt
And what was once the treasure of the earth
Now lays in ruins at your feet
And the veil is lifted, and the fog is gone
And you can see me for my truth

In reality, I am just like you
I am just like you
