They Don'T See the Real Me

Others see me for my cover 
Not caring how I am on the inside 
To them, I look like this perfect girl 
That can do no wrong 

But what they don't realize 
that when I'm at home 
Beyond the school walls
My life is not perfect 

I may say I'm fine 
But what I really mean is 
I need help 
Can anyone help me, Please!

But no one can hear my cries
I'm alone in the darkness 
I have thoughts, 
terrible to even think of 

No one can see 
Under my perfect skin 
That I am pleading 
For anyone to help me ...
 
“Your so pretty,” they all said
“Why did she do it?”
“She had so much to live for!”
But they were too late....

They were too late to hear the cries 
Too late to let her know that 
She could have been happy...
That she was not alone
