Did I?
Learnt, did I?
or just pretended
to stay shelled
under the skin
Smiled, did I?
or just wanted
to stay hidden
under the grin
Saw, did I?
or just waited
to come more
through my eyes
Lived, did I?
or just faked
to stay dead
among the lies
I thought I had it all
& I'm out of the hide
But I never realised
That the ME, had just died
