When I look at myself,
All I see is a mask.
A mask that hides the emotions.
The anger, the pain, the sadness.
All I see is a mask.
But when look into my eyes,
The windows to my soul.
The one crack in my mask.
I see all those emotions,
Breaking through.
I can finally see myself in full.
I can finally see what others see.
I can finally see,
Me.
Im not what I thought I was.
Im just an ordinary girl.
An ordinary girl with a mask.
A mask that hides
me.
The me I truly am.
The me that's not just a mask-
But a an ordinary girl.
An ordinary girl that feels, and hears, and sees, and tastes, and smells, and bleeds.
The me I truly am,
Not only hears,
not only sees,
not only feels what you say and do.
I feel what i feel,
and there's nothing i can do,
or say,
that will change the way i feel about you.
I wish my mask would crack just a little more.
Just enough so that you see that what you do,
Affects those around you.
Just enough so that you could see that what you do,
Affects me.
I know that I am not alone.
I know that I have a good life.
I know that I have troubles.
And I know you have them too.
That doesn't mean,
That you know me,
Or that i know you.
That doesn't mean,
That you know what I've been through
Or that i know what you've been through.
It simply means that we both feel, and hear, and see, and taste, and smell,
and most importantly we both bleed.
We bleed happiness and sadness
We bleed peace and war
We bleed forgiveness and envy
We bleed.
We bleed because we are both alive
We bleed because we are both here
We bleed because we are both human
And we bleed because we are both in pain.
We may not bleed in the same places.
We may not have the same scars
We may not feel the same things
But we both bleed
We both have scars
And we both feel.
We both have masks
We both have cracks
We are both ordinary
We both see, and hear, and taste, and smell.
We both wish and dream
And We both - bleed.
