A poem I wrote when I was feeling depressed. Its a lot like some of my other stuff, leading me to realize that I do in fact write a lot of emo poetry.

To you who see

---------------------------------

I ask of you, who look at me,

Can you see into the soul,

Just what is it that you see?

Is it the face, or the barriers of control.

---------------------------------

Is what you see who I am?

The stereotype you want to find?

Or do I go deeper,

the many layers of the mind.

---------------------------------

I cannot be myself with you,

I have to wear a different mask.

Dredging deep within my heart and soul,

to cover up, as conformity asks.

---------------------------------

Just leave me alone, all by myself.

Let me find time to take off the mask.

Allow me to be who I am,

before time makes me who I pretend.
