Insane

You don't know me as the girl who writes,
Through framing my words I spend my life
Crafting each sentence with condensed care,
Yet you never notice and I think that's unfair

You don't know me as the girl who cries,
The girl with emotions she can't deny
I have inner depth and I have twisted thoughts,
A walk through to my head would show you the lot

You don't know me as the girl who cares,
Who spends every minute trying to share
I try to be nice, I try to be right,
But all I get in return are judgement and fights

You don't know me as the girl who tries,
Who dreams all day and thinks all night
Working to keep her head above water,
Trying to be the perfect friend and daughter

You don't know me as the girl who's lost,
Her battles are in vain and hope will cost
I can't go on and expect it to be fine,
I can't pretend it's okay, I'm alright

Because you don't see me for who I am,
Only for what I can and can't
I can't win a Grammy,
I can't cook a meal,
I can't ace a test,
A heart I can't steal

But what I can do just brings me pain,
Because all you can see is that I'm insane.
