No One Knows Me


No one knows me

Because all they can see are my faults

All they can see is the worst in me

No one knows me

 

All they can see are my bad days 

But not the kind ones

They can't see me and my heart

Broken from too much pain

Trying to fit together piece by piece

No one knows me

 

I beg of you, one day see the light in me

She the kindness of my soul when you get close to me

See me for me, not the mask you make me wear

But no one knows me
