Hidden Beneath Me

There is another person beneath me

A person only I can see

When I look into the mirror

I see her staring out

But I know my eyes

Are the only ones who can see her

She hides inside of me

Waiting for the moment

When it is safe to be free

She is scared to be rejected

Scared to be hurt

So she stays inside where it is safe

Never knowing what it’s like

To walk inside my skin

She stays safe within

And slowly she will die

Fade away until even I

Won’t see her looking out at me
