Just Let Me Be Me

Why cant you look deeper than the surface of things Is it that hard to see what I really do for you? Why do you constantly choose to see things from the top? Instead can't you see what I really do to show you my love We all have some issues that are messed up and persistant But I will be damned if those issues will relinquish the present I am tired of always showing what you want to see For once stop and look through 7 layers of skin and for once just be Cant you see that my heart aches for you but I cant tell you Cant you feel that my pain is trapped in my mind with the enemy Its not letting me out, but damn I do try ever so hard One day I will kill the evil that blocks it and holds in tight And one day just for once you will truly see what there is underneath When you see you will notice I have many scars that plaster my image Until then please know it is in here but wont come out I have to defeat these demons inside of me Then like a butterfly in the cocoon of life I will shine And blind those that did not want to see the true meaning of me And deafen those that spoke so loudly against my world For once I will be the one to complain about nothing
