I am and will always be
More than I can show
You catch only glimpses of me
Will never get to know
The part of me I hide
The part that is never seen
The love that long ago died
The future that could have been
The fake smile you see
Never reaching the eyes
Is more like a plea
Or a clever disguise
Of the covered-up pain
The deeply buried sorrow
The dragons I have slain
The fear of tomorrow
Take me as I am
Let your love find a way
This is not a sham
Or a game I play
I can never give you all
There will always be a hole
Part of me, no matter how small
Stays hidden in my soul

This is true of all of us, we wear masks in different situations and even with our most treasured loved one there is still something hidden. This is a very good write Fred.
Thanks Goldfinch, I do believe that we all have some areas of ourselves that are not open to anybody, including the most loved ones.
Yes I guess we all have hidden depths - so well described Fred.
Thank you Michael! I think there are hidden depth we don't even know about.
A fine write Fred.
Thanks orchi, hope you have a great Christmas Service!
To early in the morning to find words to say but what a great writing my friend
Thanks PD! You found the words after all!
This is quite good. I feel i can relate and it makes me think. I appreciate you writing something I personal could never put into words.
Thank you eh! I am glad it made you think, after all, that is the purpose!
