This Isn't Me
I put on my makeup and I’ll put on my clothes.
I’ll paint on my smile and dress to expose.
I’ll laugh to keep the tears down and drown in my own soul.
I’ll twirl my hair and act like my life is amazing.
I’ll be extra nice to those who need it.
I’ll get called names but I’ll push them aside.
I’ll go home and wipe off my smile and cry in the shower.
I’ll take the razor to my thigh and watch the blood mix into the water.
I’ll finally be me and not the girl everyone sees.
