Can you not see me?

My eyes are filled with tears.

Can you not hear me?

I've been crying all these years.

I guess I've hidden it inside,

Pushed it as deep as it could go.

I guess I'm a pretty good actress,

And never let it show.

I'm afraid they seem me weak,

For just a moment of the day.

I'm afraid they see the little girl,

Not the bitch that is tough in every single way.

Only a select few have seen me at my worst,

Very few have seen me cry.

I appologize to those who have,

For they are not your problems; but mine.

But as strong as I look,

I have so many fears.

And as strong as I seem,

I have shed far to many tears.
