What Do You See?

When I look in the mirror, all that I can see is
emptiness inside of me and I ask myself.
Who am I?
On the outside it seems to clear.
I am a daughter, a sister, and a friend.
But who am I?
Every morning when I awake, I tell myself
it is time to put on a show.
Don’t want no one to know, what I feel when I am alone.
I can’t let them see the tears I cry.
As keep all my fears hidden deep inside.
I tell myself; I do not know how much more I can take.
I tell myself I need to fight and keep trying.
But I am finding it harder to pretend each day.
Trying to convince myself everything will be o.k.
I tell myself that I can’t quit.
That I need to stay strong.
Life it seems easier to others around me,they seem so happy.
So in control so no one will know?
When will I be free. find the real me?
She wants to come out.
Discover what the meaning to her life is all about
Put an end to all her doubt
so please tell me if you can
Who am I suppose to be?
What do you see inside of me?
