Do They Know
They think they know me,
But can they really see?
Can they see the desperation,
Gleaming in my brown eyes?
Can they hear the sadness,
Every time I say something?
Do they know my smile,
That is always quickly forced?
Do they know my friends,
Who don't always seem kind?
How can they know me,
When I don't know me?
