| You only see me with my
starched coats and my long legs striding across the marble floor. You don't see me being cut up by my self-esteem and the jabs made at me when I get home. Just because the things that are said about me fall off of my laugh and my shoulders when I'm out, don't hurt me, doesn't mean that they don't stay- hanging, to hurt me when I get home. Oh how they tear at me, and cut open, to my heart, when there is noone there to hold me. |

I know that it's not grammatically correct in 3rd stanza but decided to leave it because I like it better.
Originally "cut up" in 6th line. considered changing it to just cut. originally "and my long legs" in 3rd line, not sure if my was intended originally or just by mistake, considered taking "my" out. Also made with a version without the word "Oh" at the end. Dash wasn't there before hanging in original, but decided that the word "hanging" on that line by itself didnt' have enough emphasis without the dash before it.
