Copy Cat

I can see what you are trying to do,
who you are trying to be.
I don't get it...
why would you want to be me?

You say I am perfect,
perfect in every way.
I have to say that you are wrong,
even to this day.

I may look happy,
but inside me is not so.
I have many masks,
and they all are about the show.

I may seem confident,
even in worst of it all.
But you don't even know,
that I'm about ready to fall.

I may seem smart,
but it isn't so.
This is all just an act,
I hope it doesn't show.

I am not who you think I am,
I am not that girl.
If you knew the real me,
your stomach would curl.

I need you to leave me alone,
and let me hide away.
Don't look back,
and just let me stay.
