and tilt back my head,
Another day
I look to with dread.
Another day
where I hide from the world.
A day where I wish
for my self to unfurl.
A day where I wish
Someone would look deep.
See that I am hurting
and help me to my feet.
See that I am hurting?
These scars, they are proof
That not everyone is perfect
but not all see t his truth.
Not everyone is perfect
especially not me.
Though I pretend to be someone
So others will love me.
I pretend to be someone else
in the midst of a crowd
But alone, by myself,
I cry with no sound.
Alone, by myself
I look into a mirror,
and see a strange face
as the truth becomes clearer.
I see as strange face
because I am still looking for me.
I've lied to myself,
about who I'm meant to be.
I've lied to myself
in the past, but no longer.
Instead I'll look for who I am
and in the process, grow stronger.

I actually think this is my favorite one that you've ever written. I really, really like that you'd repeat the 3rd line of every stanza in the first line of the next one. This one is the best you've ever written.
