OK, well this is Matt's poem and it's angsty. I mean, come on...did you really expect anything else from a Matt fic (poem in this case)? Anyway, it's 01 Matt again, so I hope you like this too. Also, it sounds like Matt refers to Tai in a few lines, so you can use your imagination if you want it to be someone else. I don't own anything related to Digimon, so I definitely don't own the characters. Read, review and enjoy!

My Personal Façade

This anger inside of me
It never seems to fade
Because I cling to it
Anger is my personal façade

Everything is bottled up
Emotions rarely seep through
But if I slip up
You will see I'm dark blue

Only rage is seen on the outside
It helps me pretend
That I can blame it all on you
So I use it to defend

I wish I wasn't so angry
That I could cry
But tears never fall
No matter how I try

My harmonica is my sanctuary
I feel at peace with it
And I feel better
Even for just a bit

But then when I stop
And the music no longer plays
The anger and sorrow returns
My world grays

Please know I don't hate you
You're just my scapegoat
To release my frustration
So try to cope

I'm sorry when I hurt you
It's not always your mistakes
Because when I accuse
My anger overtakes

Try to understand
This anger never fades
It hides my weaknesses
It's my personal façade
