Deceiving image

Look at me,
Please tell me what you see,
Describe me perfectly,
Can you guess my personality?

Looks can be deceiving,
I am not what you're seeing,
This smile can be convincing,
The true me is what I've been concealing...

I know I'm not a perfect person,
I hide my emotions for one reason,
I don't want to be seen that I'm hurt,
You guys judge me from my previous actions,
Don't you know that I wish that time can just revert?

Must I keep pretending that I'm okay?
If only you can see my reflection
is slowly dying everyday,
Don't believe this forced laugh,
Beneath me, I've had enough...

People can also change,
Give me a chance to flip on a new page,
The way you see me makes me feel
that I'm imprisoned in a cage,
Can't you see I want to step on a new stage?

Look at me,
Now what do you see?
Am I what you think I am?
Do you see me as a different man?

    Am I what you I am?
    ^ little confused on that one. am I right in guessing you meant "am I what you think I am?" Still overall a good poem. I enjoyed it very much. 5/5

    I thought this was VERY GOOD. The flow was great, rhyming was perfect. The emotions were all there, like a plea for them all to understand. I really think that there should be a second part to this, so maybe you should write a sequel to this, because the ending just seems a little unfinished. 5/5
