Don't...

Don't judge me
by my smiles.
My eyes reflect
all the pain.

Don't like me
for the way I look.
Deep within me
is a broken heart.

Don't be amused
with the way I laugh.
It is a guard I use
to hide my tears.

Don't break my trust
I will never trust again.
Trust me and I
will never let you down.

Don't ridicule me
I'll return into my shell.
Understand me and I
will be by your side.
