Deep inside
Where very few have been
Lives the real me
I live behind glass
In a jar
Hiding away from the world
And those that have seen
The true essence of me
In that jar
Have betrayed
Abused
Used
Or just plain abandoned me
And people
Wonder why I’m shy
Closed off
Or just superficial
Because I keep
The core essence of me
Hidden away
Deep in my soul
In the bell jar
