Do you see me?
Do you see who I am?
Can you see my breaking heart?
Or are you able to look past it?
Or maybe you just ignore me completely.

I want to feel.
I'm not perfect
But I am here
I am the person sitting in the dark
crying all alone
I wish someone would tell me
I'm not on my own.

You couldn't pick me out of a crowd
Does it scare you knowing I could pick you out?
I blend in, maybe too well
You stick out
I'm one person in the crowd
You are an individual with in the group
I see you walking by
You laugh with your friends
but I see past that
I see the tears you have been holding back
Because your mom things she didn't mean
Because your dad hurt you
Because your boyfriend screamed your worthless
Because you threw up again last night
You don't tell anybody
But the hole in your heart burns
You want to escape this mess
But you don't know how
You want to find help
But fear holds you back
Its the same fear that brings the tears to your eyes at night
The same fear that makes you pray no on finds out
Its the fear that holds you together
I see the pain welling up
Preparing to explode
You wish someone will see past the layers
Before its too late
