You see me and you stare
That smile, those eyes, that hair
That's all you're seeing
My outter being
Soft brown hair,
Peircing green eyes,
A flat stomach,
And wonderful thighs.
A close to perfect body
What more could there be?

You hear me laugh
and it's like music
Lighting up a room
With one small smile
Always witty
Never without something to say
I seem to have to be that way
Loosening up to ones that are close
A "social butterfly", they boast
What more could there be?

But beneath the skin
There's too much more
You're unable to see it
I keep it buried deep within
Festering inside,
Tearing me apart
You see me as confident,
But I am not
In my eyes I am nothing
But you still ask, "What more could there be?"

I decieve you with my looks
That I don't care what you think
But it's a lie
I trap you with fake strength
That I don't need help
But it's a lie
I trick you with my knowledge
That I know every line
I falsify myself
To better what you see

But beneath the skin
I don't like what I see
I care too much what you think
Beneath the skin
I feel like crying
I'm too scared to be brave
Beneath the skin
I just make it up
I know less than you think
Beneath the skin
