What Do You See When You Look At Me Poem by Ali Joanne

Do you see the panic racing through my mind
Do you see the shaking I try to hide
Do you see the sweat sliding down my back
Do you see the tears I have cried

You see the sleeves that hide the scars
You see the confidence I act and show
You see the smile I've learnt to fake
You see the false version of me you know

You dont see the pain in my eyes
You dont see the attention I try to seek
You dont see the need for someone, anyone
You dont see the words I cannot speak

I want to shout and cry
I want to talk I do
I want to make you proud of me
I want to spend my time with you
