coldness fills the floor space
as I lift my heavy eyes
I quickly wash my face
and put on today’s disguise
Outside await choices
of which I live in fear
inside my head so many voices
so many voices I can’t hear

I feel like a shell of myself sometimes. I only let them see so much, and if they knew what I really thought, they would know why I'm so afraid. This post captures what I have felt too often lately.

We've all experienced this. It is very difficult to reveal the true person inside because of fear of rejection and gossip.I discovered your blog from the Coffee Shop, check mine out too, its a new blog about reflections of relationships and self.
