Black Aluminum

Location

I hurry to the bathroom to wash up

and in the mirror I see

a girl that can't seriously be me !

Her eyes are red and her hair is messed up.

Wet cheeks, and her wrists are cut up. 

 

I try to forget but it's too damn hard-

so I bury my feelings and on my heart leave a scar.

I wash my face but the red wont go away,

yet ill still go inside and pretend I'm okay.

So I slap on a smile that only I know isn't real

but on the inside my heart isn't anywhere near healed.

 

But no worries,

just gotta hang tight.

no too long till I see the light.
