The Girl Before you
  I’m the girl no one seems to notice
  The girl who has supposedly been in all these quarrels
  The girl who lets her heart wander
  The girl who doesn’t smile much anymore
  The girl who really doesn’t know
  People know me as a therapist almost
  The girl who has been through the most
  The girl who always knows what to do, at any given time
  The girl who can help others with anything
  But can’t even help herself
  Turns out this girl I am called
  Isn’t all true
  The girl you hear of is not much
  No one really knows the real girl
  No one including me
  
  The lies, the truths
  They all seem to be the truth
  And this girl doesn’t know how to tell
  Tell how everything really is
  But the thing is, how many lies have I been told?
  To know the truth
  You would have to sit down with me
  The 5 seconds in the hall won’t cover anything
  The real me needs to feel a connection
  A connection to know if you actually bother with my story
  I’m not a person to be fooled easily
  I know when you are lying
  I know when you need a laugh
  I know when I am needed
  And I most definitely know when I’m not
  So please,
  If you are just here to see
  And not actually know
  Then spare my breath, it does not deserve to be wasted no longer
  Too much has been wasted of me already
