Can I Make A Change To The World Or Even Just One Person

Help Me See

People say I have to wear make up to be beautiful 

I wear it to hide my pain 

My life will never be the same 

I want people to see me for me 

I want to be myself but how can I 

When everyone is telling me that I can't show how I really look 

I have feelings too 

I don't wear makeup to look pretty 

I wear makeup to hide what I don't want people to see 

No one knows that you can see that I am lying 

You want to know how it is easy 

You can do it to others as well 

All you have to do is look in my eyes 

They you can see the pain inside 

No one tells me that I am beautiful 

No one tells me what I mean to them 

Most of the time I think people don't care to begin with

I say something but after awhile people start to forget what I told them to begin with 

I want some one to be there for me 

I am at war with myself 

The people I love or care about always puts a label on me 

But you never told me why 

Is it because I am misunderstood 

Is it because you think of the things that I should 

But I think about the things that I could 

Is it because I am different 

I am not saying that I know how you feel 

But you and I know what pain feels like 

To cry when we do not know what to say to people 

That we have seen things that we wish we could take back 

That we wake up crying from the memories 

From what we had to see 

But it is not just something that we can just leave 

It is a part of us and who we will be 

But we are the only one what holds the key 

I know you just want to find happiness 

But how can you if when you look in the mirror 

You start to cry because you don't know what to think

When you are asked what you think of yourself your mind just goes blank 

Putting on makeup only makes your beauty fake 

That is what you are thinking 

But no one is helping me 

No one can see me 

No one can hear me 

Can anyone understand me 

But you can not fix me 

But you can hear me 

But for now I am Mrs.Understood 

Just when you look in my eyes 

And you can see my pain 

Please help me and know that I really do need you 

I just want to be me

I just want to follow my dream 

because my life I have tried to be what others want me to be 

But that is not who I want to be 

But people are telling me that I can't do it 

But can you please be different then other people 

Just know that when I smile 

I just really want to cry but don't want people to see that I am weak 

So I smile and only one tear falls 

But please just for me just do this one thing so I can JUST BE ME 

All I want to just know and for you to say that I am BEAUTIFUL
