I'm beginning to suffocate
The world is spinning beneath my feet
I don't understand anymore
I'm losing control

The panic sets in
I choke on air
My body trembles
I'm dying
Simply because I'm living

I'm crumbling
I've cut deep into my foundations
The cracks have spread too far
There must be something wrong
This can't all be in my head

There needs to be more
A reason why I'm like this
Someone is behind the voices
Screaming in my mind
Telling me to break and destroy
Myself

The walls are closing in
My fist and teeth clench
So hard they break
Just like my spirit has.

When my eyes first met yours, they were filled with love
You made my heart beat heavily into my skin above
Your smile so deep and so crisp
Would whisper into our kiss
Now when my eyes meet yours, they are filled with tears
As I shatter all the bedroom mirrors
That once held the many lies
As you turned and said goodbye

I tell myself to be strong
But lately the only thing I've been is wrong
I tell myself it's for the best
But maybe I'm just a mess
I know what's best for me
But happiness will never wash over me

You stand in front of the mirror...
Can you imagine what it would be like to be that one girl/boy that everyone liked? That everyone thought was so amazing and you longed to be just like them in anyway shape or form possible?
You realize you're nothing like them. That you are just that hopeless romantic, the day-dreamer, crazed perfectionist, who stands in the shadows of a fake personality. Covered by lies trying to gain just the slightest bit of self worth to make yourself feel like you matter.
You stand in front of the mirror...
Are you even a real person, or someone who just strives to be like one.
