The Real Me

By Karla Rosales

I’m the sweetest person you may know

But that could change slow

Everyone thinks that is the real me

But through time I flee

When I’m without my treatment

I have an excitement

That makes me fly like a bird

And that's when I’m heard

I pray to God asking for help

But I ask in what have I failed

Would it always be like that?

And how long would it last?

I’m the sweetest person you may know

It makes me act in a different way

But my sweetness would never go away.
