You think you know the girl

that lives in my body.

You think you know

each and every hobby.

But do you know

who I really am though?

 

Judging by my smile

would you know that I am depressed?

That I have been for a while?

No, you wouldn't

because I hide it and I do my damn best

 

Judging by my laugh

would you think im happy?

or could you tell that when I go home 

I just feel so crappy

 

Judging by my demeanor

would you think the words you say

would cut me deeper?

Because they do, 

but I will never show you.

I refuse to feed the creature.

 

Judging by my positive adittude

Can you see all my trauma?

Can you see the fragments of my broken family?

Can you see the scars that cover me?

I dont think so, 

because I show you who I want you to see.

 

There is so much more beneath the surface

It gets to be too much

and I start to question if it is really worth it.

 

Take a second

to stop and think

Becuase that person you think you know

may not be who you think
