Behind Me Poem by April Humason

Hidden within my blue eyes, a pain untold,
Behind my smile, a hate never to unfold.
My voice conceals a panic, locked away,
Deep in my heart, a brokenness at bay.

My body's longing, a yearning kept concealed,
Behind my soul, a lostness unrevealed.
For you, forever behind, unable to perceive,
The depths of my being, the truths I grieve.

In shadows, I linger, a mystery to your sight,
Though we may be close, our worlds divide at night.
You'll never truly see me, my essence, my core,
Yet, I stand strong, a soul you'll adore.
