My Secret Self
My Secret Self
I am something, not someone,
I am multiple, not just one,
One personality so I seem,
There’s more to me than what you see,
I hide a deep and loving soul,
For what you see is somewhat old,
There’s a secret me, no one can know,
It’s something I hide, just like gold,
A closed book, with lock and key,
Only one who’s trustworthy can open me,
I have more than one page,
A story with no age,
Plain and simple,
A never ending circle,
I just don’t fit,
A regular script,
An influence I don’t know,
Get’s hold of me, no,
I blend into the background,
Unnoticed and unfound
