Do You Know Me? Poem by Jan E Smith

Hello my friend, do you know me?
Am I the person I used to be?

Can you still see the me inside?
The little girl who wants to hide.

The child who's scared and longs for love,
seeking peace from God above.

Always trying to do what's right,
fearful of failure and tired of fight.

The one who's cried many a tear,
surviving yet another year.

Life's lessons learned. What was the price?
Sleepless nights, to be concise.
