Do you see?

The pain in her eyes is too much to bear
Wishing they could see the pain hidden there
The pain, the shame, that holds her down
Breaking her heart at every turn
The door slamming in her face, every day
Wishing there would be a way
To get them to see what she's hiding,
What I am hiding
Because you see,
This girl I speak of
Is me.
