The well told little lie
To make them believe
I was so much more

Not truly the hero
Not really the bitch
Hidden by the cape
Draped strategically

Over every insecurity
Partially hidden flaw
Pushing up confidence
That didn’t truly exist

Just to prove I can
I will, I am and I do
For every single one
Who really mattered

Except the one forgotten
Between the lines
And the little whisper
Inside of my mind, crying

“What about me?”
