Skin’s not thick, that’s just my thighs.

Tears concealed beneath my eyes,

Smile is just a thin disguise,

So intent on my demise.

Soul laid bare for all critique.

Does my kindness make me weak?

For it’s just the truth I seek,

While I recoil from your deceit.

Wear my heart upon my sleeve.

Can not fathom to believe;

How such a hurt you could conceive.

Disregard what I achieve.

Ain’t no value in my crying.

Ain’t no power in your lying.

For in the end there’s no denying.

Solace comes when I keep smiling.
