Far From Sight

Look at me.
What do you see?
An optimistic girl, worry-free?
It's so easy now to hide what I feel.
I cover up sorrow, put on a smile.
I've fooled you all for quite a while.

I say I'm okay.

Appearance isn't everything.
Just take a closer look.
Look beneath my surface, my skin.
Now do you see how I bleed?
Through my heart, my soul.
This blood of crimson red.

I say I'm okay.

I don't expect sympathy.
I don't expect you to care.
I only want you to understand,
You mustn't let perception fool.
Look beneath what you see.
See me.

I say I'm okay.
