Take a look,
A good look,
And tell me what you see...
What DO you see when you look at me?
Do you see beauty?
Do you see intelligence?
Do you see hope?
What Do you see?
Take a look at me,
I bet you don't truly see me,
The person I try not to be,
Do you see?
See the scars on my wrist,
See the brokeness of my heart,
See the fear in my eyes,
Do you see?
See the hurt that's left behind,
From years passed,
To years to come,
Look at me.
See me for who I truly am,
Because who I am...
Is a fighter,
And a warrior.
I fight everyday,
To keep from what people say,
I fight to keep myself here,
I fight to live another day.
I fight the urge to cut,
To over dose,
To drink,
To smoke.
I'm a warrior,
I have been through hell,
Breaking inside,
A little each day.
I've fought for escape,
I've fought for love,
I've fought for forgiveness,
I've fought for understanding.
So look at me,
And tell me,
What do you see?
Do you see the real me?
