See Through

You all expect me to know everything
You all trust in me
I’m supposed to be in charge
I have it all together

I’m supposed to be strong
Supposed to be tough
Suppose to have the know-how
But what you don’t see
Is the real me

I am lost
I’m confused
The voices in my head are arguing about what I should do
I’m scared
I don’t know how
But you don’t know that
Because my mask isn’t see through

Those tests are easy
I pass with flying colors
I don’t need anybody
My life is under control
And what you think is

I’m great
I know it all
I don’t lie to myself constantly
You think you know me
But what you don’t know is

I am lost
I’m confused
The voices in my head are arguing about what I should do
I’m scared
I don’t know how
But you don’t know that
Because my mask isn’t see through

They tell me I’ll be amazing
They have plans for me
They can try to control my life
They can delude themselves into thinking that they have me to themselves
But they can’t
Because even though
I’m lost
I’m confused
The voices in my head are arguing about what I should do
I’m scared
I don’t know how
They don’t know that
my mask isn’t see through

This was orginally a song I wrote, but I'm not a very good singer, so I decided it would make a true-to-life poem.
