I am the person who cries

Where nobody’s watching

I am the person who cries

Where everyone sees

I am the person

Whose cheeks will be blotching

I am the person

Who hides in the trees



I am the person

Who skips in the meadows

I am the person

Who drifts on the wind

I am the person

Who screams at the shadows

I am the person

Who sings like a sin



I am the person

Who reads in the darkness

I am the person

Who tears at the walls

I am the person

Who melts in the wetness

I am the person

Who runs down the halls



I am the person

Who dreams of their ending

I am the person

Who’s always tied down

I am the person

Who’s always been standing

I am the person
Who flies on the ground

The last line came to me, and I wrote the whole poem based on that.
