Illusion

I know that my tears don't show
And that my pain is unknown
But I fear that my 
Weaknesses will be found
And I, in them,
Will be bound

I didn't want this
I didn't ask for it
Why? Then why
Does this have to be?

Im forever hiding
Behind this illusion
Am I happy?
Am I sad?
In truth there are few things
That make my life worth living

I didn't want this
I didn't ask for it
Why? Then why
Does this have to be?

You don't know
What this is doing to me!
You don't know
What you are doing to me!
       Why can't you see me
             For who I am inside?
        Why can't you see me
              For the person I am forced to hide?

I didn't want this
I didn't ask for it
Why? Then why
Does this have to be?

        I just want you to Love me,
       Love me for the real me.
