I'm not who you think I am.

I wake up early in the morning,
to look in the mirror and cover my flaws,
being the person everyone thinks I am,
nobody knows the real me at all.

I walk through the doors,
with a big smile on my face,
being the girl everyone adores,
even though it's all fake.

They know me as "the" girl,
the one everyone wants to be,
the one who has the world,
kneeling down at her feet.

Lying and pretending is how I get through everyday,
not showing who I am and how I feel,
not letting out what I want to say,
not being real.

One day I'll let it out,
and show you all the truth,
but for now I must continue this,
just to make it through.
