The Real Me

Looking into the mirror Is like looking to the sea Knowing what I'm looking at Is so far away from me The smile on my face Is only there for you to see While I'm crying on the inside You never look away from me Aiming to please I smile all the time Without you knowing that what you're seeing Isn't really mine Wearing this mask I hide you from my pain My crying, sobbing, and depression With all this, I find I'll never gain I show a little part of me Seeping it through this mask And everyone notices All I say is please don't ask Crying in the dark In a place hidden in my mind Knowing that no matter what The real me, you'll never find
