Beautiful and Broken

They think I have it all figured out, but they are truly mistaken.

 

Fake smiiles and keeping my feelings inside,

the troubles and pain,

you can only see it deep in my eyes.

 

Scars laced up and down my pale white skin,

no one ever seems to see what is truly within.

 

Ice cold razors and blood dark red,

I can't ever seem to escape the demons trapped in my head.

 

Scared of the judging eyes I bottle it up,

surrounded by a pool of my own lies.

 

There I stay for all my life, 

until my pain becomes too hard to hide.
