What do you see


When you look at what do you truly see?

I've heard so many times " I wish you see what I see."

And I'm stuck wondering what do you really see in me.

Is it good or bad? What could it possibly be?

Cause when, I look in the mirror and reflect on my past it's the evil that I see in me

Though I pray and pray while trying to maintain a good heart.

Willing to give my right arm or the clothes of my back to those who wouldn't do the same from the start 

I got so fed up to the point that I started lying with ease cause even when I told the truth for some reason it's always the false lies you see 

Sometimes I wish people would let me be and isolate myself from everything even some people in my family 

So when you look at me what do you truly see ?

Cause I'm tired of trying hard to keep you from seeing the false lies within me
