Underneath

Underneath my scars
Is a broken girl
Who still wakes up
With hope in her heart

Underneath my clothes
Is the shell of a girl
Who would give anything
Just to love herself

Underneath my tears
Is war paint
Meant to show
That this girl is fearless

Underneath my smile
Is the melancholy
I try so hard to hide
But it swallows me whole

We are not who we appear to be
All of us are hiding behind something
None of us make it out of this alive
So just remember to be kind
