Despair

Those around me are happy.

Laughter fills the air.

Everywhere I look I see a smile,

expect in the mirror.

There I only see despair,

I see a broken little girl.

My load has become too much to handle,

it has been piling up my whole life.

I just want to be normal for once,

however that is never going to happen.

I am doomed to struggle.

I just want to give up.
