Do You See Me

Do you see me?
As I slowly come undone
Do you see me?
Faking a smile
Do you see me?
As everything seems to become impossible to handle again
Do you see me?
Crying myself to sleep
Do you see me?
As I finally break
Do you see me?
When no one else understands
Do you see me?
As I give my all when I have nothing left to give


Do you see me?
Slowly getting better again
Do you see me?
As I get back on my feet
Do you see me?
Smiling and laughing again
Do you see me?
As I start to become myself again
Do you see me?
No,  because you never understood my pain.
