Why can't you see me
My hands are tied
I cannot scream
but it is not ropes and knots
that bind me
It is my pride
my insanity
It keeps me under locks
and on the edge
all the time
I try to move
pain sears me
as it tries to keep me
from who I need to be
help me
I am an animal in a cage
but I am tame
nobody sees me
under this cloudy eyed mask
help me
I need a friend
someone who understands
a kiss on the cheek
a hand to hold
that this insanity
won't lend to me
why can it not see
I am simply a child
but I am afraid to say
afraid of rejection
afraid of pain
don't leave me alone
but
the truth is
they don't see me
so how am I not alone
and all I can say without the pain is
Why don't you see me
