Visible Invisible Cape

I was supposed to be transparent but you didn’t really see through that mask I wore the one that hid who I was but you still believed that I was transparent and happy only that was the face I put on everyday I guess that if you saw me really smile you would be astounded in the beauty of the truth all you've ever seen was a beautiful lie In all matters of reality I’m not who you think I have layers that would make you cringe because of the pain you never saw or the tears that no one ever fought only I know the whole story so dark and deep of the pain found within little ol’ me why did everyone accept this mask no one truly asked who is the real me The only me you ever saw was the one who fit a preconceived notion of Sarah Lee I guess I could take off some layers make it so easy but then you still wouldn't see because to see my core you must be God or somehow convince me that you are worthy of the entirety of all of me

Very deep. My favorite line "have layers that would make you cringe because of the pain you never saw" #7
