I'm Not the Person You Think I Am

I'm Not the Person You Think I Am

I'm not the person you think I am.

Everyone thinks I'm something I'm not.

I'm not nearly as strong as you all think.

I'm not nearly as innocent as everyone seems to think.

For some reason you all trust me, and I can't see why.

I am weak. I am not strong.

You seek advise from me, but I don't know why.

I'm not good at handling my own life, how am I supposed to help you with your's?

I don't want help, not do I think the help will actually help.

I don't want to be happy; I don't think I deserve to be happy.

None of you actually truly understand me. Some of you may think you do, but you don't.

I'm not who I let everyone to believe.

I can't help it. I keep parts of me hidden from everyone. I don't let anyone see the whole me.

You may think you know me better than anyone else--even if that's true--you still don't truly know me.

No one will every be able to know how messed up I turly am, because I will never be able to let anyone all the way in.
