when people look in my eyes all they see is
blue, black, and white

they don't see the tears I cried
the night I spent in my room
crying over guys and lies

they don't see the pain I hide
pain with an unknown cause
but with a known loss
it's causing me to lose my sanity
it tries to control me

they don't see the struggles I have
am I worthy to live
or should I just give up

they don't see my fears
that captured my every year
paralyze me
unable to exist
freedom is my only wish

they don't see my lust for acceptance
willing to do it at any cost
even if it kills me

they don't see the secrets buried
hid under lock and key
dying to be set free

I just wish someone could see
