Inside and Out
Open your eyes and look at me
 Do you see what I can't see?
 Behind my hardened barrier
 Is something even scarier
 With tears falling from your face
 I simply walk away to give you space
 You shout at me, calling me cold
 The tragic events begin to unfold
 Day by day I slowly slip away
 Storing my feelings, keeping them at bay
 You expect me to be like others my age
 Normal, but you don't see what goes on backstage
 Inside I'm screaming and crying
 Inside and out, I'm honestly trying
 All I have to show are these scars
 While my peers get a job well done along with golden stars
 Save me from myself 
 For years I've been left on this dusty shelf
 Alone in this place I call home
 Yet it feels like I've always been on the outside of this dome
