See Me Now

You see what I allow you to see .

You know only what I want you to know .

I tend to play dress up with my exterior .

You’ll never guess what goes on within .

That’s my cross to bare interiorly .

You think you know me !?

You think you get me !?

You think you can relate !?

You see what I allow you to see .

You know only what I want you to know .

I tend to play dress up with my exterior .

You’ll never guess what goes on within .

That’s my pill to swallow .

What you don’t know makes you anticipate.

What you don’t get make you perpetrate .

When you can’t relate that makes you create hate .

I’ll let you believe what you want, that’s the way you really see me.

See me for who I am not for what I have

See me there’s more than what meets the eye

See me skin deep not my surface attire

See me I’m not mute I have a lot to say

See me in the lies when I say I’m okay

See me beyond the filters and the posts I make

See me in the silence, in the nights I break

See me in the tears that never hit the ground

See me when I’m lost but never make a sound

See me in the chaos, not just in the calm

See me in the pain I cover with a charm

See me when I’m healing, not just when I’m whole

See the battle scars that shaped my soul

See me when I laugh — it’s not always joy

See the little girl, not the image I deploy

See me when I’m strong and when I fall apart

See me not just body, but soul and heart

See me like a story still being written

With pages torn, but none are hidden

See me like art — not perfect, but real

See me, don’t look — really feel
