Viewing my reflection,
All I see is deception.
There’s a common misconception
Of what deserves acceptance.
So I try to read the script
And I attempt to play the part,
But what I show to the world
Isn’t what’s really in my heart.
I understand that I am flawed,
But the world makes me feel broken.
Through this expression of emotion
Understanding is what I’m hoping
To obtain.

Thoughts that consume my mind are driving me insane.
And I constantly wear masks
So you don’t ever see my pain.
If you did,
I know you’d never understand.
That every night before I lay,
I pray I will not awake.
And as each day goes past,
I wish it were my last.

If I let you see the truth,
you’d think I need to be locked up.
Its ****** up,
cuz the fact is that
you’re the one who’s causing this!
You’re the one who tears me down
And demolishes my confidence!
You’re the one who shoved me
When I needed you to help me stand!
You’re the one who pulled away when I reached out for you’re hand.
Instead of helping me up,
You rubbed salt in my wounds.
And when I screamed out for you,
You never answered my call.

You make me feel so alone.
I see now that it’s hopeless.
Why should I live, if my life isn’t worth ****?
How can I learn to love myself
When no one else could ever love me?
How could I ever show the world that I’m somebody worth something?
