Can You See Me??

by Charlie   Dec 27, 2007


Take a look
What do you see
Standing here
So perfectly

Do you see
A smiling face
Dressed up well
And Filled with grace

Perfect make-up
Lustrous hair
Contagious giggles
Stop and stare

Brand new bag
And matching shoes
Swiftly strutting
What's to lose?

Crowded friends
Never alone
Always hyper
Not unknown

Is that what
You really see?
Then you are not
Looking at me

Here I stand
Destroyed inside
Broken dreams
Away they hide

Cold black past
Painful mind
A heart that's lost
Alone and blind

Breathing deep
Sighing jarred
Every second
Seams so hard

Filled with ice
And filled with cold
Friends? Where?
A price that's sold

The list is endless
But can you see..
looking harder
that's really me
