What Do You See When You Look at Me?
You see the girl who smiles and
You see the girl who laughs,
You see the girl who tells her friends that everything’s alright.
You see the girl that falls in love a little bit too much,
You also see the girl who has a very broken heart.
But what you see is not the real me….
You don’t see I am the girl who cries at night,
When nothing in my world is going right.
You don’t see that when I fall in love,
It’s never ever meant to be.
You don’t see that my heart is broken,
From all the death in my family.
The only thing you see is the fake outer me,
But you don’t see the sad teenage girl inside of me.
