Who I Am

They're just pretending
To know me inside
It's just their own reflection
Off of my eyes

I know myself better than thee
Deaf ears hear 
what blind eyes see

I have such a soft voice 
For such a harsh soul
A heart for choice
No one will know

An angel with no name
Every word perfectly clear
What cannot be heard
Is too true to hear
