Hello

"She's really pretty, she's really thin"  
They say, but they don't see within.  
It makes me laugh, It makes me cry  
They think I'm on a constant high  
They say I'm friendly, always smile  
Think I'm perfect all the while,  
But that is only what I do  
To make the room appear less blue,  
While really, what you never see  
Is all the real sides to me...  
 
If you really looked, with *all your eyes  
Then you would see me trapped inside.  
I hate the sun I hate the light  
And even more I hate the night.  
You'd see a monster, eyes of black  
A creature waiting to attack
A rip that tears across my chest  
With red that pours, that represents  
My faith  
Which drains from deep within  
Down crumbling fragments of burning skin,  
The Demons claws rip me apart  
They screwed up my mind and they punctured my heart  
And blood keeps spilling all the time  
From this beaten soul of mine  
So shut your mouth and use your eyes  
And look behind the sweet disguise,  
I am not pretty and who cares if I'm thin  
Because all that counts is what's within.
