looking in the mirror its no longer me br just a broken lifeless shell is all i see br wearing the makeup and the right clothes br the fake smile, it all puts on a show br behind the mask lays scars and bruises br so much hurt tucked away, kept hidden br the brokenness that cuts painfully deep br i see the words you scornfully screamed br and how slicing in deep they do sink br they steal anything good that's left in me br within my reflection i despise every part br the mask claiming everything's alright br when inside everything is torn apart br looking in the mirror i see my struggles br how i try so hard to be so much better br your perfect mold i always try to please br to the point of dying just to be so thin br though never good enough i am again, br looking in this mirror i hate every piece br my eyes stare back always criticizing br revealing every ugly hidden memory br forcing a smile again to keep such an act br though i am tired of this masked charade br broken down, i am unsure of another day br shattering the mirror into many pieces br is this really me? i'm aching for clarity br looking into the mirror's broken shards br i see so clearly its perfectly reflecting br this shattered image of mine i truly see br and i wonder if forever broken i will bebr br Silentpoet Grlbr br
