What do they see when they see me ?

Do they see the pain that I hold inside?

No, they only see what they want to see.

Behind the smile, behind the scenes 

No one sees the true me.

They only see the skin, they only see the smile

No one sees the girl who is fighting internally to keep herself.

No one sees me fighting the currents to stay afloat.

People judge me because of the way i look and the way i speak.

No one tries to see the real me.
