can any one hear my screams?
can any one feel my pain?
do they know how to find me?
can they see me for me and not the person that i have become?

i can not be found! say the thoughts in my head.
you want to be found says my gut
but i listen to my heart
"they'll kill you once they find out who you are"
"but what if they don't?" i say

"better safe than sorry"
"yes i should be safe"
listen to your heart it will help in many situations.

I actually really liked this poem. Something about it seems a little rocky around the edges. Like i feel like it needs a beet of some sort... but the message comes across strong and clear. Nice work.
