• Nobody understands these thoughts,
    That run rampant in my mind,
    They dont see the real me,
    Although im sure they try,
    All they see is what they want,
    What lays upon the surface,
    They dont see whats underneath,
    Dont understand the purpose,
    Of these holes in my face,
    They remind me what is real,
    They cant understand how,
    These things remind me how to feel,
    They remind me that im still human,
    Contrary to popular belief,
    They give me a way to release,
    All this pent up inner grief.
