You think you know me

But do you really know me

Do you know the person I am inside

The person behind the smile

Do you know the tears I cry

The longing for love

The craving I have for arms to hold me

For the laughter and togetherness

How alone I feel at night

Knowing I am not worthy of love

Not wanting to eat because I eat alone

Not wanting to sleep because I sleep alone

No you do not really know me

And perhaps you never will

You don't take the time to try
