72 - don't

"Don't tell me that I'm beautiful
Until you've seen the marks
Etched in my skin
And the ones on the inside,
On my heart,
That I hide.

Don't tell me that I'm strong
Until you've seen me break down,
Fall apart,
Time and time again,
And cry until the tears don't come.

Don't tell me that I'm a wonderful person,
Until I shut you out completely
And push you away
Because I promised myself
That you're just like the rest
And you'll get tired of me too.

Don't tell me that I'm lovely
Until you see what nights are like
And the terror that sometime possesses me.
Seen me sob and tremble asking "why me?"
Until I run out on air
And collapse

Don't tell me that I'll get through this
That it's only temporary
Until you've seen the inner torment
Inside of my mind
And the demons that refuse
To be silent.

But if you've seen that other part of me,
The scars, pain, insecurities, and bitterness that I hide,
The voices that whisper during the day
And scream during the night,
The darkness lurking behind my smile
And you still stay by my side
And think me truly beautiful,
Then maybe..just maybe..I believe you."
