this is me

I'm stripping away all the filters

the barriers are coming down

this is 100% real

My Name is Shae-Leigh Grace

I have a fragile heart

and a broken soul

my eyes cry a thousand hidden tears a night

I can't stand to look in the mirror

for all I see is imperfection

I try and make the people around me

see the beauty in themselves

music is my addiction

it's the only thing 

that breaks through the pain

my writing is my escape 

the only way I can runaway from reality

you think you understand my words

but until you know the story 

you never will

but know you can see

this is me

Nobody can ever truly know how another person feels, as they would have to be that person themselves in order to do so. Your emotions emanate out of this piece like raw energy, and really delivers the message at full power. Sometimes, it is better to just strip away all the filters, as you put it, instead of concealing everything inside. Just remember to turn to your friends and family when you need them. They will always be there for you. I hope you are able to find happiness in your life. :)
