Seeing Who You Really Are

 

I now know who you are

And now see how you dress

I know how you act

And yet I wish to know more

 

I see people surround you

Just wanting to talk

And I wish I was like you

With all you have, and all you are

 

I know I cannot be like you

Have what you have, do what you do

But all I want is a chance

To try and see what its like

 

There is no way I can ever try to achieve what you have

The ultimate gift in life of acceptance and happiness

Yet for an unknown reason, I have      neither of those

And just for a moment wish to see what   its like

 

I don’t even get the time of day

It’s like I’m always in the way

No matter where I go

Or who I’m with

No one can fill that void

 

The void of what I don’t have

And what I know you do

 

I sit here thinking

Wondering everyday

Just what I’m doing wrong

And why things are this way

 

They I have a lot

Though I know I have not

The only thing I want

To be like you

 

You’ve got it all and you know it

It all comes so easily to you

And hard for me

There is not a reason for me to ever try

For all I do is fail and fail again

 

I sit here wondering,

What left there is to try

Knowing I’ve tried all I can,

All that’s left is to die

 

Not having what I want

And watching you each day

Makes it harder to live

And know just what to say

 

I’m nervous when I’m around you

Afraid of fucking up

I sit there feeling alone

Knowing how things are,

It chills me to the bone

 

I wish you just knew

How hard things are for me

Just wanting you to know

And just making you look and see

 

You’ve got it what everyone wants

Yet only a few can taste

Just what you have to offer

While the others sit and wait

 

Thinking of those few days

When you did notice me

Pains me even more, knowing it wasn’t because of what you knew

But because of what you’ve yet to know

 

You probably don’t even remember my name,

Or why I was there

And thinking of that, just turns my world upside down

 

I wish I was like you

Until now I’ve yet to see

Just what I’m really lacking

 

And just what you, will never see
