You Don'T Know Me Poem by Scarred Unknown

You've so succinctly captured the feeling that so many of us have even into adulthood (whatever THAT means) , SU. A great sociologist whose name is Erving Goffman wrote several books about the 'public personas' we all have. We do a great deal of 'acting', so, how could anyone know us? I mean, really, really know us. It's important that we find people we feel 'safe' with and learn to trust our 'instincts' about who we will trust with our 'real' selves. It's true, we can't trust everyone. Continue processing your feelings through language. Read some contemporary poetry from your library, and practice, practice, practice. Make the dictionary your best friend. Thanks again, for sharing.
