You don’t see me.
You see your expectations of me.
You see a version of me that you want,
Or expect me to be.
They say “She’s a whore”,
“She’s dumb”
“She’s a bitch”
“She’s selfish”…
You don’t see me.
I don’t fit into a box,
I’m hard to understand,
I’m uniquely me.
The world refuses to see me.
Refuses to even try to understand my heart
Because I don’t fit a “type”.
They force stereotypes onto me.
Bombard me with skewed perceptions,
Hideous expectations.
They make me believe the lies.
No one sees me.
It’s lonely,
Knowing that the world
Doesn’t want to see me.
People I thought were friends,
People I was in love with,
Never knew me.
They never tried.
I just want
Someone
To
See
me…
Wow, you just described me
