Please See Me
Am I just invisible?
Am I even here at all?
I can see you try to talk to me,
But I'm still trapped behind my walls.
I know, I'm a coward fo hiding,
But the pain I've experienced is real.
Are the chains I've bound my prison with
Forever locked and sealed?
I've lost the key to lock
Which guards the chest that bears my pain,
But this is only an inward struggle.
No one else can see this drowning rain.
I wish that there were someone,
Just one person to see this side
Of the girl trapped within crying for help,
But being drowned out by her own pride.
If they would just look a little deeper,
If they would just care a little more
They would see through the cracks within my walls;
They would find a secret door.
All they see are the calm waters
Far above my soul's vast sea.
They have no idea I'm trapped and drowning beneath.
Won't someone please see me?

When you get to that point in life when you've been hurt one time too many and you build walls for your own protection, to keep yourself from being hurt again. But, you become to good at hiding... and no one can ever really see you or really get to know you because you're afraid to take that risk. As much as you want to be entirely accepted for who you are, nobody takes the time to even try to get to know you well enough for you to dare show them that part of your soul. All you want is to be found by someone, to be seen.
