To be known



To be known

Sometimes I just want to be known,
Need desperately for someone to understand
Who I am and what I have been through.

To feel like I am real to at least one person-
It seems like no one can understand the depth of pain-
The torment of my past.

Am I really real if no one knows me?
Do I even exist if only I see me?
Is it wrong to want others to understand?

I need so desperately to know that I am not
Alone in this- that someone else can see
That this pain is real.

That someone else can see how brave I must be
In order to face each day
Rather than hiding away.
