A plea to be seen
See
Have you ever felt like noone really sees you?
That everyone simply accepts the face you portray?
Does everyone fall for the surface glitter?
Never bothering to look deeper?
Does anyone really see ME?
The scared little girl cowering in a corner
The battered young woman staggering out the door
The scarred, paranoid adult that evolved from the other two
Or do they only see what they are comfortable with?
There can't be a problem if I'm smiling...right?
Look above the smile if you please
Look deeply into my eyes...deeper...deeper
Look directly into the heart and soul of me...and weep
Then tell me that you see me
