In Someone Else's Eyes

In someone else’s eyes I can see this girl before me. A good kid, The best student, And so much wrong She never did. In someone else’s eyes I see the disguise Of how they picture me. Looking in the mirror I’m changing beyond degree And what they don’t see Is killing me Inside this disguise In someone else’s eye’s. They don’t know The food I hide away Or the price I pay Trying to look one way. Talking to my parents I want to say What’s plaguing me every day? But the words slip away Looking in someone else’s eyes. All the lies And pills I take Never fill the pain I’m dying to brake. I hope its not to late But who knows at this rate. So much I feel And the weight is disappearing All so real. The purging I do No one knew. In someone else’s eyes I’m perfect, I try to do everything right, An never fights, But theirs a battle Deep inside. I fight myself While everyone stays blind And no one sees When they see me. I’m glad the can’t see me lose control Yet I wish someone would set me free Even though they would know. I try to stop, I want a way out! I’m dying to get out!
