Look Into Me
My trembling smile is no longer real,
My eyes disguise the way that I truly feel.
Who can I trust when I long for a friend?
Who will be there when my world is at end?
The honesty is lost in all of their eyes,
The tears that I cry are drowning in lies.
Where do I turn when I can't find the light?
My reflection is shattered by the darkness of night.
I'm left all alone, secrets hidden inside,
I want to emerge, but they force me to hide.
I'm sick of repetition day after day,
Not knowing whom to trust, being wary of what I say.
False friends who I loved for all of these years,
Cut me the deepest by causing these tears.
I can hear whispers; I feel your stare,
But straight to my face, you wouldn't dare.
Don't give me a smile when I know it's an act,
When I turn my head, don't plan an attack.
If I made a mistake, why can't you forgive?
I refuse to regret the way that I live.
I want to fit in, but what's there to see?
Please look past my shell, and look into me.
