Do you see the struggle

In my eyes

Do you see how I'm trapped

inside my mind

Do you see through my mask

because it's slowly cracking

Do you see my hidden tears

the ones I've been masking

Do you see my imperfections

the ones I try so hard to hide

Can you see my contemplation

when I think thoughts of suicide

Can you see that I'm trying

but it's never enough

Can you see I'm a failure

although I never give up

Do you see how my smile

never reaches my eyes

Do you see how I'm just a girl

hiding in a disguise

you would never call me pretty

If you could see my scars

you'd never think I'm worth it

If you looked through my eyes

Can't you see

all I am is a broken mess

like a shattered mirror

you can never fix
