Nobody knows
Who I am
What I think
Or what I want to be

Nobody knows 
How I sleep at night
What I dream of
Or what I constantly see 

Nobody knows
Who I love
What I need
Or why I always disagree 

Nobody knows
Except for me
Everybody sees
The person I hate to be

I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality. ~H.A. Overstreet

I like the fact that you didn't go into too much detail and kept it simple; it is what it is.  I can definitely relate to this :)

This poem is really powerful, and it even made me a little sad.  I think all teens can relate to this in some way or another, and I think we all regret how people see us when they barely even know who we are.

This poem really conveys your emotions about feeling like you are hiding your true self, I love how the words flow and the repetition of "nobody knows" it helps to convey your point! Great Job!
