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.
