Unseen Flames

You see me laughing...

You see me smile...

But you don't know what's going on

Behind these eyes.

I walk through the halls like nothing is wrong,

Put on my favorite song and sing along.

Everybody thinks I'm doing okay,

But there's so much I never say.

I make everybody laugh out loud,

But sometimes I get lost in the crowd.

I wish somebody would look and see,

There's more to this girl than what they believe.

I'm not invisible!

I'm not unbreakable!

I'm just a girl with a story to tell!

CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?!

CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAM?!

I'M MORE THAN JUST THE GIRL YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN!

I HAVE DREAMS! I HAVE FEARS!

I HAVE HELD ON THROUGH THE YEARS!

YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS INSIDE,

BUT I'M DONE WITH HIDING WHO I AM TONIGHT! I

don't need a crown to feel like a queen,

I don't need the world to know what I mean.

I'm finding my voice,

I'm finding my way,

And I'm not gonna hide it today.

(no, not today)

Maybe I'm still growing...

Maybe I

don't know

it all...

But I'm learning that I'm worthy,

Even when I fall!

CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?!

I'M STANDING TALL!

I'M NOT GONNA DISAPPEAR JUST TO PLEASE YOU ALL!

(yeah!) THIS IS MY STORY!

THIS IS MY LIFE!

AND I'M GONNA SHINE IN

MY

OWN LIGHT!

I'm still here.

And now...

You see me.
