Can you not see me?
My eyes are filled with tears
Can you not hear me?
I've been crying all these years
I guess I've hidden it down inside
Pushed it as deep as it would go
I guess I'm a pretty good actress
And never let it show
I'm afraid they see me weak
For just a single moment of the day
I'm afraid they see the little girl
Not the me that's tough in every way
Only a select few people have seen me at my worst
Even fewer have seen me cry
I apologize to these
They are not your problems, but mine
But as strong as I look
I have so many fears
And tough as I seem
I've shed too many tears
