Beneath Skin, by beautifully_broken

By Thoughtless Encounters •

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 Copyright 2006 JEM
