Visions of Me

You look at me and what you see

Is different from my view of me.

I see a girl who doesn’t think

She tries enough. Not swim but sink.

You see me as the greatest mother

Who works her hardest, can’t be better.

I see a mom who hasn’t fought

Her hardest is just not enough.

You see a pretty girl who’s great

Who makes you laugh, the perfect mate.

I see a girl who’s full of doubt

Pretty she’s not, inside or out.

You call me beautiful, amazing

Your confidence in me is blazing.

I am unsure of everything " of me.

I don’t feel free, I’m lost at sea.

They say that life has ups and downs

You’re always up, I’m full of frowns.

I’m always hopeless, see all dark

But you can always find a path.

I often wonder how you found me

The girl who is forever gloomy.

You’re happy and so full of life

All I can see is afterlife.

You try so hard to make me see

My worth and not my agony.

You don’t give up but I’m afraid

One day you’ll say, ‘I have been swayed.’

I’ll never know how you can see

The pretty girl inside of me.

I don’t deserve someone like you

Who loves me so wholeheartedly.
