"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

Pay no attention to that reflection in the mirror.

Pay no attention to that number on the scale.

Pay no attention to that scar under the sleve.

Pay no attention to that monster under all the make-up.

Pay no attention to that fight in the kitchen.

Pay no attention to that voice in your head.

Pay no attention to the pill bottle in the cabinent.

Pay no attention to pain in your heart.

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

Please pull the curtain back.

Please see the relection.

Please forget the number on the scale.

Please show the scars.

Please see the beauty and not the beast.

Please escape the kitchen.

Please tell that voice to leave you alone.

Please flush those pills.

Please release all the pain.

Please pay attention.

I am.
