WHAT YOU DON'T SEE

Look into me
And tell me what you see

My eyes full of depth and perfection
All you’re seeing is deception
They’re full of lies and mistakes

My lips plush and full of pretty secrets
How deceiving because
They behold my tragedies and my pain

My hands cute and full of creativity
No way you mean the same hands that have hurt me
A million times before

My heart so pure and full of love
I can’t believe you can’t see
How it’s chipped and faded
Drained of life
Chocked full of misery

In my soul
You see something clean and untouched
But it’s so worn, tarnished, weak and frail

And the best part is, in me
You see a little child filled with schoolgirl dreams
Well, to tell you the truth
I’m full of pain, sorrow, angst, and death

Just let go of everything I seem to be
And realize this insanity
I’m not all that you think I am
I’m much more, but negatively

Look into me
And you’ll see everything
The emptiness and the hate

The darkness from within
Will seep out of my veins onto you
You seem to really care
But you aren’t seeing all that’s there
My pain, my anguish, and my tears

You think I’m strong
But I’m frail and weak
You think I’m warm and content
But I’m frozen and morose

Look into me
Don’t you see?
I’m not what you’ve expected of me
I’m death and demise
Not your most valuable prize
I’m hateful and discontent
Not passionate and loving
I’m deceiving and filled with lies
Just look into these tear-filled eyes
I’m dying inside

I can’t see what you see
So I understand how you can’t see the truth
This is all what you don’t see
But what you’re seeing
Isn’t me
