Not All That Meets The Eye
Location
One of the brightest students
they call me
though they do not see the darkness
clouding my mind
Want to make everyone happy
they say about me
though they do not see
that I can't make myself happy
She is just so involved
the notice about me
though they do not see me break down
on nights I have too much to handle
She can handle so much
they think as they give me more
though they dont notice my grades
slipping as I crumble under pressure
She is so confident
they think as they see me walk by
though they do not see the vicious words
carved into my skin under this fabric
I am so glad we have her here
they think about me
though they dont know that the pressure
makes me not want to go one
