Nobody Knows

nobody knows

what I'm going through

you say you understand

but do you really

do you know

what I feel

what I hear

what I touch

what I see

what I smell

do you know

what I think

what I say

you say you are my mother

or my father

or my sister

or my brother

or my friend

you say you know me

who I am

but you are not me

you don't think what I think

you don't feel what I feel

you don't hear what I hear

you don't touch what I touch

you don't see what I see

you don't smell what I smell

you don't say what I say

you can never be me

and know what I'm going through

I am my own self

I am who I am

I know me

you don't

you know what I show you

you will never know the real me

I do

I am me

the real me is inside of me

beneath my layers

beneath what I tell you

what I show you

nobody knows the real me

except me

I am the person you least expect

I am who I am

I am me – myself
