you see me (and i see you) from the other side of the room
I see you
 On the other side of the room
 Looking at me
 What do you see?
 What are you thinking?
 
 What can you see that I cannot?
 Do you see me for who I really am
 Or something I’m not?
 Can you see behind my mask?
 
 Do you see me 
 For who you want me to be?
 Do you judge me 
 By the rumors you’ve heard?
 Do you see
 Who I want to be?
 
 Can you see behind my mask
 Of confidence and security?
 
 Can you see behind the veil 
 Of lies  they tell?
 
 
 I see when 
 You stare at me 
 from the other side of the room
 
 can you see in my eyes?
 Can you tell this is only a disguise?
 Just the act I put on
 So no one will see me?
 
 
 but you can see me
 you do see 
 my mask that I wear to this 
 stupid masquerade
 you do see 
 through my act 
 and my veil
 
 how can you see all of that 
 from the other side of the room?
