Visible Invisible Cape
I was supposed to be transparent
but you didn’t really see through that mask I wore
the one that hid who I was but you still believed
that I was transparent and happy
only that was the face I put on everyday
I guess that if you saw me really smile
you would be astounded in the beauty of the truth
all you've ever seen was a beautiful lie
In all matters of reality I’m not who you think
I have layers that would make you cringe
because of the pain you never saw
or the tears that no one ever fought
only I know the whole story so dark and deep
of the pain found within little ol’ me
why did everyone accept this mask
no one truly asked who is the real me
The only me you ever saw was the one who
fit a preconceived notion of Sarah Lee
I guess I could take off some layers
make it so easy but then you still wouldn't see
because to see my core you must be God
or somehow convince me that you are worthy
of the entirety of all of me
