You don’t know me

You don’t know me

The real me

You only know me

That I show you

The girl who

Cries herself to sleep

Until no more tears come

Then stares blankly in the dark

As her life falls apart

Yet no one knows

The girl who

Has anxiety attacks

The fear of people is so real

No one understands

So she buries it inside

To destroy her there

The girl who

Smiles and laughs

When others are around

Even if she feels like crying

Because at night

That’s all over

The girl who

Hates herself

That unlikable person in the mirror

The failure, disappointment, mess

The one who’s not good enough

Feels people are better without her

The girl who

Will make sure that you are loved

Try her hardest to help

Feel guilty forever for hurting you

Never give up on you

Believe in you no matter what

The girl who

Has no one to run to

She doesn’t understand trust

She isn’t certain about you

Fear of judgement and rejection

So she lets it destroy herself

The girl who

Feels like a failure

To her parents

Because they only want the best

But she sees it as a high standard

She’ll never meet

The girl who

Secretly is screaming and crying

For help

Someone to save her

From downing

In her own dark thoughts

You don’t know

The real her

You only know her

That she shows you

Will you care enough

Will you love enough

Will you fight enough

To break down her walls

To see the tears

Being the smiles

To love her like crazy

Never give up

Always be there

To show her she matters

Cuz right now

She’s fading away

And you don’t even know

Because she doesn’t let you see

But if you looked closer

If you took the time

To notice her

When she’s quiet

When she stares off

When she says she’s tired

Can you hear her

Whispering

Crying

Screaming

To be saved

You don’t know

The real me

You only know me

That I show you

Do u dare to know me?

The real me
