Seeing The Real You- A Poem

In that moment

I saw the real you

The one you keep hidden from the world

The monster that comes out when you see red

The thing I am afraid of most

  2. Short but full of depth. I like it

    1. Thank you!

  3. All people have a dark side. It isn’t necessarily the real them unless they choose not to control it and decide to continue a negative path. Some people, however, are not exactly trustworthy. That’s the hard thing to sort out.

    1. I agree with you. We all have some dark parts but we have to make sure not to let them win.

  4. Hit me like a brick! I just kept thinking Run! Run!

    1. I thought that, too. But then I kept thinking the reaction would most likely be shock… like a deer in headlights

      1. Yeah, probably. But just like when you’re watching a scary movie, there’s still that reaction. Also, I’ve been married to a monster like that. Can’t bear to see anyone else get hurt.

      2. Yeah that’s the reaction I had in mind when I wrote this.

    2. Yeah I definitely get that reaction.

  5. I love these random posts. It’s really great work!

    1. Thanks so much!

  6. Very very insightful

    1. Thank you.

  7. Interesting. In a way so is life. There are always two sides to a coin.
    I like this type of content. Makes me want to think.
    Thank you for sharing.

    1. Thank you and I absolutely agree. Life is not just black and white but rather grey.

      1. Yes many different shades of grey. A full spectrum of it.

        1. Yes definitely.

  8. Excellent poem! I feel the trepidation. We all know people that can make us feel this way. Especially bad when we love them deeply.

    1. Thanks and yeah I think we have all been through that feeling in one way or another.

  9. Short with much impact!

  10. Everyone has a side to them that they keep hidden from others unless it is provoked in some way to come out to the surface to be seen.

    1. That’s so true. I think we all have that side no matter how happy we are.

  11. […] The Real You […]

  12. You are sooooo right. I mean even if with a friend of many many years. I mean we can be polite and courteous for all these years and never say anything out of the strict conservative boundary of things. After a while, one just gives up on such conversations. What’s the point? If I already know the answer, there’s no point to engage in the communication. Then one day he or she can say something quite uncharacteristically fresh and good and even interesting. Real people are very very interesting. It is the facade that we use for our daily life that is really boring. However we just have to be content with it. It’s not going to change.

    1. Yes absolutely real people have so much more to offer. They are interesting and amusing unlike the versions of ourselves we present.
