What you don't see

What you don't see
is that i'm strong, determined, and able
to do anything that I want to do
and I will

You can't see how much pain I've endured in my life
but still came through with a smile
you would never know how deep you've wounded me
nor how much I love you

Do you even care
that I've sacrificed for you
I've asked nothing in return
yet you still remain so rigid, tough, and uncaring towards me

You don't see that I am going places
and that you should come with me
or risk being left behind
in this hell hole with no real friends to speak of

You are so naive, immature, and stupid
to think that anyone cares for you as much as I do
they all only see what you can give them
they offer you little, and you reimburse with all you've got

You never offer to pay me back
to give me a kind word, your hand, or even brighten my day
my days are cold, lonely, and long without your love
but you can't see this

You can't see that I'm very spiritual
yet my spirits are waning
my heart is breaking
and I want to give up, to stop caring

I have so much pressure
that I can't afford to be given your vengeance
I'm trying to move on
to not need you, but i'm failing miserably

everytime you come around
my world brightens
my tears dry up
and i feel alive again

you can't see how hard I've tried
there are men that want me, can you see that?
and i hold on for you,
my life is passing me by, and you are taking your sweet time

does spending time with me really drain you so much
that you can only afford ten minute increments
you're going to lose me
can you see that?

i'm on the brink of giving up on you forever
i need to be loved, caressed, and held
not ridiculed, riled, and despised
you mean the world to me, but slowly i'm coming back to earth

an earth where you don't exist
your role is minimal
so small, that to obliterate your lines in the play
would hardly alter its course

even if you don't want me, and i refuse to give you my friendship
my course is already charted
my spirit will rise
and when you do finally see all that you aren't seeing now...you will kick yourself a million times over
