They only see the front of me
The side I keep so perfectly
But when I turn around to flee
They see the gaping hole in me

This is really amazing. It can apply to everyone and how we all feel in reality. Check out some of my writing, if you get the chance[: but really beautiful poem. Keep it up, for sure!
