I am the woman everyone knows

Someone who everyone sees

Walking down the halls 

people greet me

What they fail to realize is the 

Wall that's between us

Eyes that meet but don't SEE

The smile I wear is tired and worn

I can hardly keep up

I need somewhere to go, I need serenity

I struggle to find myself

I worry I am not being true 

True to myself 

I am the woman you don't see 

The woman hiding inside
