I see you

I see you
Standing in front of me
Lost and confused
I see all of your pain 
You’re trying to hide within 
Hiding behind your smile 
Though you wear it well 
It’s just a mask you’re wearing for protection
I see you 
Being on guard all the time
Consumed by all your own thoughts 
Causes you to be afraid
To let people, see the real you
I see you 
I see beyond your mask 
You aren’t wanting people to see
You’re not invisible 
You got to trust what i see
I see you 
A caring person 
Beating himself up over the past
Letting it consume you 
You’re willing to brighten anybody’s day 
By just being present in their world 
Sharing your bright smile
Brings smiles everywhere you go
Can you shed the mask 
So, others can see what I see
 I see the real you
 I see you 
The real you
 So, toss the mask 
Give the world the real you
 I see you 
So, will they
