The Real Me
Looking into the mirror
Is like looking to the sea
Knowing what I'm looking at
Is so far away from me
The smile on my face
Is only there for you to see
While I'm crying on the inside
You never look away from me
Aiming to please
I smile all the time
Without you knowing that what you're seeing
Isn't really mine
Wearing this mask
I hide you from my pain
My crying, sobbing, and depression
With all this, I find I'll never gain
I show a little part of me
Seeping it through this mask
And everyone notices
All I say is please don't ask
Crying in the dark
In a place hidden in my mind
Knowing that no matter what
The real me, you'll never find
