Into My Eyes


Into My Eyes
Look into my eyes
What do you see?
Do you see my soul?
My deep dark secrets?
I didn’t think so
Hidden away from the world
Is a scared little girl
The innocent soul
That just wants to be loved
Vulnerable and insecure
Never good enough
Never have been
Never will be
Every success
Overwritten by my failures
Each day is a struggle
Just to keep my head above water
Fighting a fight
I know I will never win
This scared little girl
All alone in the cruel world
Look into my eyes
The pain is there
Masked by the fake smile
Given for everyone else’s benefit
If only you could see
The tortured soul within me
It would terrify you
You would turn and run
You have no idea
Under my steely exterior
Is years of anguish
So I soldier on
Saving everyone in my life
While I slowly die inside.
