I saw a girl..

an insecure girl looking back at me,scared of society and what others think.

Tears are forming in her eyes but she's trying not to blink.

This girl looks like she's drowning in a world of trouble.

But no one really understands her struggles...

Except for me, im the only one that can see how broken she truly is to the point that she can't breathe.

She believes that her only answer is death, but she goes about her day trying to fit in like the rest.....

She wishes that just one person would understand how she feels.

She cant do it on her own anymore.. she needs a friend.

She picks up the razor and watches as her blood leaks

she turned away from the mirror and tears rolled down her cheeks.

..She cleaned up the mess and wiped her tears away.......

I looked in the mirror one last time faked a smile, and carried on with my day..
