See Through Me

I wish people could see through me
then I wouldn't have to pretend.
They could see the ugliness within my veins
and the strength that sometimes bends.
I wish my friends could see my soul
then they'd know I'm not at peace.
They would stop saying how together I am
and allow my confidence to crease.
I wish my family could see my fear
and tell me it's hereditary.
Instead they make me wipe my tears
and remind me that I am lucky.
I wish my boyfriend could see my heart
and know it's not made of gold.
It has lied and cheated and begged before
and was accused of being cold.
I wish people could see me cry
before I lock the door.
If they told me I was beautiful then,
it would mean just so much more.
