I am the one

By atia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I am the one who is afraid To speak in front of a crowd. I never used to be this way. I am the one who Turned quiet, 'Cause I had nothing to say. I never used to be this way. I am the one that walks by Deliberately, Just to see you smile Back at me, Wondering Am I crazy? Do you care? Why? I never used to be this way. I am the one who pours out her heart, Choosing to be misunderstood, Who laughs and cries at the same time. I never used to be this way. I am the one who hides And then errupts, Reaches out, Fingers growing numb in the cold. I never used to be this way. I am the one who feels, Who searches for eyes To pierce through her soul, Who wants to reach out and touch. I never used to be this way..
