**Living In My Mind**

What You See

You don't know me.

You don't owe me.

I don't need you.

I don't need your opinion.

And I don't want your sympathy.

I don't want you to pretend to feel like me.

I don't need you to 'consider me.'

Because I don't need you.

Because I don't want you.

Because I wish you'd stop acting like you care.

You're not really there.

You aren't really waiting for me to share a part of myself.

So don't dig deeper. I don't want you to.

I don't need you, or any of them.

So don't act like you understand.

You never ask. You don't want to know anyways.

So don't judge me. You'll never know me.
