Searching for the real me

You look at me

I look at you

We appear to be looking at each other

But instead we're looking right through

I see the person you are

You're the person you claim to be

But you're trying to past my fakeness

Trying to see the real me

I look away as you break down my walls

Tearing down the very things that protect me

You ignore me as I ask you

To leave me alone and let me be

Digging deeper into my brain

Resurfacing all my pain

Into my memories you shine a light

And watch every last gruesome sight

You reach out and grab my heart

Rip it out and tear it apart

I watch you pick at and examine the remains

While hoping through it all I stay sane

You read my mind and watch every dream

While learning through my experiences that every thing is not what it seems

I fall to my knees and cry for you to stop

Begging you to find another person to look through

But you block me out and continue to search

And I'm forced to deal with the pain caused by you

Eventually you find what you were looking for

It satisfies you what you finally see

And even while I stand here hating you

There's a sweet relief in someone finally seeing the real me
