Behind The Glasses

I'm not the same girl you take me to be
If you look beneath the surface
Beneath my chemically clean room
Beneath my perfect grades
Behind my glasses
There is a girl that no one knows

She's an artist
But not in the usual sense
She paints her face, not a canvas
And people think her strange for it

She's sensitive and small
Sometimes just wanting to disappear
And she cries to sad movies
People laugh at her for it

There is a girl who fears she's insane
But she can't talk to anyone about it
Because they'd be frightened
And she doesn't want that

There is a girl who's in love
But is too afraid to show it
Because no one sees her as someone to fall in love with

She's just a nerd
The class' smartie
She's nothing more
No one can fall in love with her
No one can understand
No one

Except for you
