The Me That No One Sees
Location
The me you see is the me everyone expects to see
Hidden behind my hair of gold and my eyes of blue
There are many things that may or may not be true
My teachers and peers, for nine months they see
The one who brushes off the silent stares, the snarky remarks,
The you're below me judgments of the cool kids
The disaccord of a teacher's willingness to help
Because of the popularity standing
The waves of air passing from my mouth
That is actual words that no one hears because they don’t want to listen,
This all buries me behind and under tons of curtains trying to be perfect
In everyone’s world but my own
Relief comes in those glorious three months of the year
Freedom to be me
My eyes sometimes change to green and my hair tipped with color
Reflecting my personality I rebel within myself
Thinking the what-ifs to reflect and hopefully change the World in someway
This is a world where my true feelings and thoughts can be seen and heard
If you only step into me and listen as well as see
You would live in my dreams, looking through my eyes
So blue to see what is true
What makes people feel good and loved
To feel the freedom, to be who they are
When I am grown and can do the bidding
I will be the difference for others
To be seen and heard
The true me for twelve months instead of three
To be seen no matter my size,
My clothes, money I have, sports I play,
Or the car I drive
Somewhere the curtains can be lifted or closed
And your friends will still see and hear you
And know who you are behind the gold hair and blue eyes
Even when you want to be different sometimes
