Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes and look at me
See how I've changed
I'm not the same
Open your eyes and look at me
I'm not the same person
I'm not a little girl
Open your eyes and look at me
I've gotten taller
I've gotten bigger
Open your eyes and look at me
Stop being so blind
Stop hiding behind your eyelids
Open your eyes and look at me
See how I've hurt
See the tears trickling down my cheek
Open your eyes and look at me
See how I've lost
and how I've found
Open your eyes and look at me
because I'm not the same and 
I want you to see me.
