I am me

They see me as beautiful,

They see me as invincible,

They see me as smart,

They see me as nice,

But no one sees me, as me,

They see what they want me to be,

But no one knows the real me,

The me behind the smile,

The tears beneath the laughs,

The scars beneath the beauty,

The doubt beneath the confidence,

The flaws behind the perfection,

No one sees me as me,

They see what they want to see.

Let me show you me,

Let me watch you cringe in horror,

Ha! You were wrong,

Now your thinking who am I?

To you I am a stranger,

But let me introduce myself,

Hello,

I am not who you think I am you have me confused,

I am Me.
