So I understand now
People are blind
It isn't that I haven't tried
Quite the contrary, with ever stroke
And every line
I've cut the words I couldn't scream
Into visibility on the canvas of my face
My arms and hands and fingertips
Tattooed in gold and silver ink
The things I didn't want to think, traced
In painful swirls and points
But nobody seems to realise
The purpose of my colourful creation
My only expectation
A wish for seeing eyes
Now revealed as a false hope
My wish for a chance not to hide
But since they won't see
They can't see
I'll push everything back inside
So I understand now
I'll be everything they want me to be
I'll smile and I'll laugh
And everything will be okay in the visible
I'll be the puppet they need
But the screams still want to break free
