Behind the Curtain

[~faerie~]

I have been put on guard
By words that have been spoken
I hide behind my curtain now
Because my heart is broken
I won’t let myself be hurt
These curtains are my walls
I don’t let my true self show
Until the curtain falls
On stage it’s just an act
To hide all my fears
Behind the curtain though
I can shed all my tears
When I’m on the stage
I play my part so well
They’ll never know my knees are shaking
And I’ll never tell
When the act is done
And the curtains down
Then I can be myself
When no one is around

great job.......

[ThisYouWillDo]

A lovely poem, Shy.

The you that we see
Is the you you want to show,
But not the real you.

Better to know you truly -
Better to be your true self.

Life is full of competing demands that need complex decisions. Sometimes those decisions mean we have to deny a piece of ourselves. And that may be good. Bur every time we deny something about ourselves, we become that much more diminished.
