Me
I avoid the mirror
at all costs
It's a sad reminder of
Who i am
What I was
And mostly what I have lost

I haven't got the strength
To try and stay strong
I have been on my own
For so **** long
It's easier that way
I keep on getting it wrong
So I will just stay here on my own
Because that's where I belong
I am just a broken record
Repeating the same sad song

I say that I am okay
But we both know
that I am not
Just to raise
The smallest of smiles
Takes everything I got

I cannot disguise
The sadness behind my eyes
I will tell you that I am ok
But you know it is lies
I smile on the outside
But I am crying inside
Telling you how I feel
Would just destroy me
And my foolish pride
