You were watching this movie
alone in your room,
And after one or two scenes,
You realised that the plot of the movie
It was exactly like your life  
Even the names of the characters were taken from your life.
What is the mystery behind this?
What is this I see before myself?
I mock all my mistakes.
The details are engrossed
Who can see this?
I didn't mean for my life to look like that.
This movie that I can't tell
If it's truly a joke
Or I'm just going crazy
I've always wanted to see what I was like
In other people's eyes
But this, this is just wrong
I wasn't that nice
I didn't deserve that chance
Why are they all so nice?
My mom wasn't that rude, right?
My dad did care, can't you see?
They loved me, maybe this movie was wrong
The film is filled with details of my life
The detail is so accurate that I must deny
It wasn't that bad
And maybe it was
All those people who asked how I am still alive
How am I still so sweet
After all that pain
It was normal, I was alive
I am living and seeing myself live before my very eyes
I can see what people said about me
What they thought about me
Yet I do not understand
Why do they not hate me as I hate myself?
I feel pity for this character
Who seems to impersonate me
Such a beautiful woman
reenacting such a horrid beast
But the show must go on
showing what everyone sees but me
Maybe I can find out
If I get that happy ever after
after all
Maybe I will see myself
Watching the sunrise in the early morning light
Who knows this about me?
Who has decided to show me what my life was really like?
Who would know this just as well as I do?
I know it was me
Between sleep and awake
I made this happen
And as much as I will cry and yell at myself for it
I needed to see it
Through the eyes of everyone else.
