Escaping from the Pod (free verse)

Escaping from the Pod

(by: Karla Mae Bonono)

Right now,I'm all by myself
Walking along the crossroads of life
Reminiscing all the things that passed
Struggling from the things I keep inside
All through my life I've been in the dark
I have always hid my face and feelings inside
Doubtful of what I could reach
A secret me I forced to hide
I pretend to be someone else who I'm really not
When can I show them the real me?
When would I come out of my shell?
When couldn't I be afraid to face the world?
Hoping that someday I could reveal
Those those things that I keep bottled up within
