look at me
I'm torn
I'm wore out
i'm broken
what do you see
a smile on this face
but deep down I'm dead
the decisions I made is too hard
it's too long
I miss my family
stop asking if I'm okay
I'm not I need help
thought that I think
they ain't supposed to be there
people around me expect me to be perfect
I'm not
I will never fit in in your box
I'm a daughter of an alcoholic father
a mother living on welfare
I'm from the projects
I should have been dead
I'm different I'm not like everyone else
but look at me
what do you see
I see someone broken someone scarred someone shattered
I see a timid little girl and all she wants is a mother
I see someone who is scared to be alone
but alone she is
but who cares about what I see
can you please tell me what do you see
