If I were to confess my inner being,
You'd be amazed at the conflict which you were seeing.
Emotions of pain, projected as joy,
Acting friendly, but honestly coy.
Dealing with problems only I know,
Convincing the world it's needed to grow.
Unsure of paths that I've less traveled,
Wondering how things became so unraveled.
Having love for just one, but unable to express,
Looking at youth and seeing distress.
So many ideas possessed in my mind,
Something I've lost and will never find.
Views about struggles from passed years make me cry.
Adaptations and adjustments just to get by.
Living alone or not living, just the same,
The very real meaning of "What's in a name?"
