What You Don't Know

As you look through a crowd of clones who hold their heads down, you'll notice a girl who walks with her head held high Although, she doesn't realize her beauty She'll stand alone, always looking towards the sky She wears headphones 24/7 But what you don't know, is that most of the time, she isn't listening to any music This girl will laugh within the crowd of people, But when she goes home, up to her room, she'll just sit and stare at the walls A sadness always looming over her, slowly breaking down her walls until sleep finally consumes her Then a new day will start and she'll feel optimistic, Hoping that one day she'll look up to the sky and notice a sign telling her she'll finally be happy She conveys her emotions by drawing self portraits And singing until her voice has nearly gone But what you don't know about this girl is that she believes in silver linings, She will put her friends needs before her own, And she will do anything to make you laugh Another thing you don't know about this girl, Is that she's me.
