Here I am.

I try not to stare.

"Do you notice me?" I think

As I pull back my hair.

Do you actually see me

or just the girl I show?

Do you want to see me?

Or will you say no?

But I try to talk to you

You just look away.

Should I just leave

Or should I try to stay?

If I show the real me

Will you listen

Or will you just leave?

If I show the real me.

So as I talk,

And as you tune in,

I here myself say

Will you stay?
