I want someone to look deeper
Than the surface
To see what i really feel
To look at my eyes
Instead of my smile.
Because about six times out of ten
That smile is fake.

When you look at me, the first thing you notice will be my smile.
Bright and gleaming, and a little lopsided.
But if you look past that
You will see the hurt in my eyes.
The hurt in my eyes
That means my family has been fighting again.
The hurt in my eyes
That means i've been yelled at again.
The hurt in my eyes
That means i've hurt myself again.
The hurt in my eyes
That means i know i'm not enough.
The hurt in my eyes
That appears almost every day.

But usually
My smile works too well.
I need someone
To look at my eyes.
Because it is my eyes
And not my face
That show my true emotions.
