You look at me and see a warrior
A solider with her chin held up high
A fighter, a survivor
You see past the tears in my eyes
You'll never hear me call out for help
Or pray to God for mercy
You assume that because of this
You could never hurt me
I feel everything you feel
And I know all the things you know
We're no different from each other
Except that my pain never shows
My emotions run just as deep as yours
Did you think I wouldn’t mind?
Am I supposed to be used to this?
Being so easily forgotten all the time
You disappointed me, you know?
You really let me down
I see now what I am to you
Beside the trash there on the ground
And it’s expected I keep my chin up still
I pretend I didn’t feel the pain
And I will move past you without flinching
Before I forget your name
You had your chance to know me
But you kept your mind closed
You’ll never see me for who I really am
The pain that never shows |
