the real me

It's funny you think that you see the real me
You have no idea about this person you see

You know trivial things like my family and pets
What you don't realize is I'm taking your bets

You may think you know me well, or ever so-so
But I'm set on not letting my feelings just show

Did you know that I'm not happy, clinically depressed
Did you know I've tried suicide, just for a test

Did you know I've been beaten one time or two
Do you know when I'm happy or when I am blue

I know all the answers to all the above
And the whole issue of it was I just wasn't loved

But everytime you look my direction
All you see is this wall, my wall of protection

You only have seen the person I've molded
I'm ashamed so much that I'm personally scolded

You think you know the when, where, and why
But please just remember, it's all been a lie
