See Me
You say “I like your hair”
Thanks but do you know whats going through my mind?
You look me in my face and lie
But do you see the tears in my eyes?
All in my pictures on my phone
But do you know what kinds of conversations i go through?
Do you know? Do you know? Really, do you?
See I feel like lifes inmate
Locked behind all this confusion, trying to escape
On my face is a smile
But its only a “free trial”
If I see somthing else go
My real feeling will show
Would you be suprised if i told you im not as happy as I make out to be?
I promise this 2k10 year has given me a rude awakening to reality!
