Fear of Being Seen
Look me in my eyes and tell me what you see
Tell me anything except a girl with a broken family
You can say you see a crazy lunatic
Just don't poke any deeper with your therapist stick
Keep everyone at a distance and you save your soul
But even I dream of having one person I can call my own
I dream of happiness and wealth
Only my wealth comes in good health
Mentally, I'm drained
Spiritually, I'm sprained
I want to scream to the heavens just how I feel
But I'm scared so I keep it in and beans never spill
Scared of what? Scared of who?
Scared that someone will see you for who you are
See me as something other than a ride just like a car
I'm more than a "good time", I'm a real person
I'm more than a body to feel on, I'm somebody to love
Scared to let you in so I keep you at a distance
Scared to lose you so I just forget your whole existence
Scared to keep you for fear that you can see me
See me for who I really am
It's my biggest dream yet my worst nightmare
For seeing who I am brings up troubles that I'd rather not face
I trust a pen more than people so I write my frustrations down
Because a pen has never hurt me nor made me frown
I live a double life
One of tears and one of joy
Only my pillows have seen my tears because only my pillows are my support
It's not you that I'm scared of
I'm scared of me and how I feel
I feel everything so strongly that I feel I hold my tears against their will
Don't fall, don't fall because they can't ever see
See how I really feel because what good does that do me?
Okay let's talk about it but there's nothing you can do
If you don't talk about it then its nothing to face
So I start off another day and finish another race
