*WHAT DO YOU SEE?*
People only see what I allow them to see
Outside me, lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair.
To them, my eyes of joy bring them to ease,
yet inside hides a girl shedding tears of sadness.
A beautiful laugh that's contagious,
yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger.
Outside lives a girl with the personality everyone envies,
yet inside hides a girl full of insecurities and shame.
They see a girl who is fearless and tough,
yet inside hides a weak girl who lives in fear.
A girl full of pain, wanting to die.
I am the girl with a perfect image,
But within hides a girl with regrets and mistakes.
A girl of innocence,
yet inside hides a girl with tremendous guilt.
People envy me because I am a girl with goals and aspirations,
yet inside lives a girl lost in confusion on how to fulfil her goals.
What you see on the outside is my personal disguise.
What hides underneath, you can't even begin to imagine.
Yet, people think I don't need help
Because, I look perfect
Dear sisters,
Don't harbor your pain. Speak out when necessary
Let's someone know how you feel
You don't have to wait till you get consumed by your challenges and fear
There's someone waiting patiently for you.
Don't relent
Pray to God.
He is the strongest pillar
In terms of trouble
So, don't feel left out or less
Remember, you are a reflection of what you think
So people might see you outside but your mentality of who you are is
What you think about yourself and I believe you can be better
Change your mentality
Pray to God to help you
Read the word,
Read edifying books,
Feed your mind with Great thoughts daily
You can do better!!!
