Fake.

I write to breathe
i write to feel
i write to show you
the side of me that's real

when i talk i hide
when i talk i lie
when i talk you only see
the side i bring to life

you never see the little girl
so broken and scarred
you see a strong confident woman
who's come so far

but each day that passes
i fight to make it through
and you'll never know
that the only thing that gets me through is you

so all that i ask is for you to look again
look into my eyes
and see the child within

don't make excuses
don't turn away from me
all i've ever wanted is for you to see the real me..
