To the world I represented light, sun and happiness.

But deep down in side I would think to myself.

If only you knew me.

I was confident and proud

Challenging the world as life crumbled around me.

But again I would think to myself.

If only you knew me.

For deep down inside I was emotionally crushed.

And deep down inside I was really dying of true pain.

If only you knew me, my world that no-one saw.

Then maybe you would realise that soon I would be no more.

I know that you watched me and gave a tentative smile,

Then the next day silently passed me a beautiful flower.

And that one time you saw my true self,

You touched my cheek with your gentle hand.

Now as I walk beside you invisible to the world,

You remind me of your kindness.

If only you knew me.

But I never gave you the chance.
