See me

What do you see people? what do you see?

what are you thinking when you look at me?

do you see the smile on my face?

or do you see the tears I fight to hold inside my heart?

I am upset

I am broken

I am irrational

but I am so much more

Do you see a strong deliberate young woman

or do you see the scared little girl who never expressed her feelings before?

or the the girl who never seems get anything right?

I am determined

I am challenged

I am confident

so open your eyes wide and use your mind people

come a little closer and see me
