How can I translate?

I don't understand, even though I'm a girl and I'm a teenager too. The strange customs of my own species are confusing to me. I guess I just don't fit in- and that's fine by me, as long as I can keep seeing every last detail of the bigger picture.

How can I translate,

the thought's in my head?

Can't any of you see?

The letters,

The words written

In the pupils

Of my eyes

As I glance your way?

I'll be the first to admit,

I'm lonely

But,

Still,

You're all faceless to me.

With your flickering cell phone screens

And tubes of lip gloss.

With your cupcake lace

And puckered lips.

Your eyes are glazed over,

Reflecting blue light

And you hear only the beep-

Of an incoming message.

Darkness is just a way not to see-

Yet,

Sunshine

Can give you revolting skin diseases

And the pink

Of a sunset

Might as well be a fly,

Crushed on a new car's windscreen

to people

who don't think twice.

Daisies and dandelions

Are filthy weeds-

but they're the only flowers,

That still grow here.

I may wear glasses,

But I'm not the one,

Who can't see what's ahead of me.

Fishes in dresses,

They do what they like,

Seeing two inches,

Past their noses,

Caring only for those they call BFF.

But I know now,

Why you don't understand,

The emotions in my eyes.

You just don't look into them...

I guess you see what you want to see.
