someone inside me

there's someone inside me
screaming, "let me out".
i said, " no it can't be."
no one should know what you're about.

there's something inside me
whispering, "get me out of here."
i told it, "no you shouldnt be."
no one should see you in clear

there's someone inside me
asking, "why can't i be out?"
i answered, "no you can't be."
"they will know what you're about.”

there's something inside me
saying, " i want to be out there."
i said, "no you shouldn't be."
"vulnerability fits in nowhere."

there's someone inside me
she finally said, "i'll stay here."
"i can't let them know me."
"I am strong just as how I appear."
