This is me,

But take another glance,

What you see is not all there may be

I am more,

I am a gem in the rough,

There are hidden things in store.

Still I hide,

Afraid to be me,

My true self hidden inside.

My confidence is low,

And so I seem to think,

There is nothing more for me to show.

But that is a lie

I know in my heart,

I need to be open and not so shy
