Things Inside

People constantly overrate me,
Judging me on what they see on the surface,
Thinking I'm a wonderful person,
But not taking into account the things inside,
The things that no one on the outside,
Ever get to see,
But if they did,
They would be shocked and appalled,
And they would finally see the real me.

People I know haven't yet learned,
That people can't be judged on exterior alone,
That things on the inside,
Aren't always what they seem on the surface.
I am battling the things on the inside,
As I can't live with them in there,
And I can't lie to my friends anymore
As I want to feel like I've earned the image,
That they have of me...

But I feel I'm fighting a losing battle,
The time has come for drastic action.
