Invisible Attempts

Its hard always trying to impress people, especially when they truly are not looking. To go out of your way to prove something, that really nobody cares about. Each and every day I try to do what is right, to show them that i have changed. It is as if their eyes are shut to the truth, all that matters is what they saw on the news. Meth Lab, drugs, baby involved.. Ignore the heart ache pain and attempted suicides. Now I am finally out of the situation, finally trying to be me again. But its impossible to show them that its different, that I am trying. I am trapped in my own mind even when I am away from him. Everybody says they want to help, they want to see me better myself. But its hard always trying to impress people, especially when they truly are not looking. To go out of your way to prove something, that really nobody cares about.
