Can you see past my Monsters?

Do you think that I am pretty?
Can you see past my monsters here?
For their chains rattle constantly
And Depression's my alter ego's fear.

Can you get past my wall of loneliness
Can you survive my sea of woe?
Can you show me something that I've missed?
Can you exorcise my heart's ghost?

Do you think that you could love me
Even if I show none in return?
For love is something of an odyssey…
A great story whose pages I will not turn.

Do you think that I am pretty?
Can you see past my monsters here?
For their chains rattle constantly
And I see only ugliness in the mirror.
