Look at me
Look at me
Look at my clothes
Look at this smile that is ready to decompose
Look at her makeup
Her eyes
Within are the lies that say I’m fine
Her jewelry
Her kindness
But it is burning up a hole inside
She is riddled in pain
But don’t lose focus
Work faster
Be smarter
Weren’t you the perfect daughter
Battle scars
Looking for a way out but you can’t see the door
Screaming at the wall till you can’t no more
Ah ah don’t complain
No excuses
This is a mans world and you are useless
Be a lady
Sit up straight
And forget about the way I manipulate
It’s not all men
No it’s women too
We just don’t want you to know the game and report your abuse
Knock knock
Nobody’s home
I checked out years ago
It began with my parents
I was isolated and alone
I didn’t know what love was till 19 years old
I quieted the voices in my head
Telling me I was better off dead
I grabbed a mirror and began to see
The sad little girl looking back at me
I hugged her and cried
I had let that little girl die
Healing began with me
Loving who I was always meant to be
So when you can’t get up
Grab a mirror and look at yourself
Don’t you dare give up
Look at me
Do you see the scars I hide
The smile I force
All those nights I’ve cried
Look at me
I’m perfect in every way
And if you ask
I’m fine is on the tip of my tongue
But I say I’m ok
