I love him, treasure his company, enjoy his humour. <br />Yet I hold a piece of my heart back from him. <br />Why am I this way? <br />To almost everyone I love I seem to do this. <br />From my Dad, I hold back my sanity. <br />From my Dad's Dad, I hold back my friendship. <br />From my Mum, I hold back my true happiness. <br />From my Dad's Mum, I hold back my thoughts. <br />From my Mum's Dad, I hold back my trust. <br />From my boyfriend, I hold back the part of me that shows that I love him. <br />The only person I fully give my trust to is my Mum's Mum. <br />Only she has fully proven through helping me through life. <br />The others are getting there, well all except one: My Mum. <br />She will never gain my full trust.<br /><br />MaddiiAnne O'Leary<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-am-i-this-way/
