If Only

A poem I wrote June 1, 2009

If only you could see me for myself,
See what’s really going on inside.
If only I could save myself,
And didn’t need you.
If only I could get away from here,
What would I see?
What would I do?
If only anything was possible for me,
I would grow wings and fly.
If only you would listen,
And actually hear.
What would you say,
If only you found out what was Really going on?
If only I could escape,
I wouldn’t be gone for long.
Because I always come back.
There is no way to avoid it.
I wouldn’t be able to.
If only you could actually see,
The real Me.
