Mirrors crash down in this brain
This fun house where nothing makes sense
I scratch and claw at my own reflection
In a desperate attempt to leave a dent
Another step, another piece of myself
I leave a trail of broken dreams
Cut out smiles and hidden tear drops
Nothing is ever as it seems
I’m surrounded by liars at every turn
Telling me what I want to hear
They call me beautiful with a straight face
How hard it must be to pretend to be sincere
When I slam my door and close off my windows
Hide from the eyes of this judging world
I see myself and all I truly am
An ugly and unsightly little girl
I’ll believe that someone may love me
When I find the strength to look away
When every glass window pane in my path
Will lose the power to destroy my day
She smiles but is she happy?
She stands tall but is she secure?
I feel their eyes undressing me
Exposing my hideous, hidden core
I hate everything I’ve become
Inside out and outside in
How am I supposed to live
Trapped inside this skin
