Everyone sees my smile
And no one sees my tears
Every one hears my giggles
And I show no sign of fear
Everyone sees me happy
But no one sees me cry
Everyone expects I’m innocent
And they just think I’m shy
Everyone sees my good grades
And they see me attending class
Everyone sees me dancing
And my so-called “happiness”
Everyone sees I’m friendly
And I don’t raise my fist
But I tell you no one sees me throw up,
Or sees the deep cuts across my wrists
They don’t see the ongoing fights at home
Or the nights I cry to sleep
They don’t see how I sit alone
Or how I overeat
They see what they want to
And miss my cry for help
And I tell you
They don’t see
How I want to kill myself
