This Is Me

I am numb 
I am never good enough 
I am tired 
I don't love myself 
My smile hides it all 
You see me happy 
You see a strong person 
You don't see the whole picture 
I let you see my shield  
If you were to look within 
You would cry too 
If I put down my armor 
The tears would flood 
The smile would melt away 
The laughs would be soundless 
The color would drain from my face
You could see the real me 
The me I don't even like see
