Photograph

by Lost Girl   May 20, 2005


Take a photograph of me
Capture every tear
Make the image faultless
But show me as I appear

Take a single snap shot
Of this second in time
Show a face so ugly
Don’t try to deny its mine

Take a picture of me
That shows my every flaw
Every broken memory
I can’t take no more

Take a photograph of me
Don’t try to hide the scars
Show me just the way I am
Just a disaster, and so bizarre

Take an image from in my past
Show me how I used to smile
Make it pretty and perfect
There’s no need for denial

Take a picture of me
With every cut and tear
Show my weakness to the world
That I have grown to fear

Take a photograph of me
In this torn up state
Teardrops on my pale cheeks
In my mind I sit and wait

Take a moment in my future
Show me what lies ahead
Gleaming smiles and buttercups
Or more of this misery instead

Take an image form inside me
Locked so deep inside my mind
But beware of the demons
And all the pain you’ll find

Take a photograph of me
Please show the real me
The person no one understands
The girl no one can see
