Look at ME


look at me

the way i'm supposed to be.

look at my heart,

not my face.

look at my heart,

no disgrace.

don't judge based on my looks

judge based on my acts.

look at me

the way i'm supposed to be.

i feel my heart beating fast

whenever you look past

all the lies and untruths

and look at me at last.

look at me

the way i'm supposed to be.

look at ME

don't look at their words

don't look at their lies

look at ME

not my face

not my body

look at ME.

LOOK AT ME.
