Do You Really See Me

She is smart

She has a 4.0 GPA

She will be successful

How could she not be

 

How could I not be

I have the envied life

I have everything

Yet I have so little

 

Yet she wants to give up

She wants to have fun

She wants to be free

Will she continue with this illusion

 

Will I continue to be an illusion

I will not disobey

I will not be distracted

Can I continue to be as I am

 

Can she continue to live the lie

She will not be perfect

She will not live the lie

She will live out her dreams

 

I will no longer be her

I will be myself

I will be free of scrutiny

I will no longer be perfect

 

Can you see who I want to be
