It's so simple really.
It all starts the night before.
Endless crying for no particular reason.
Followed by terrible thoughts that won't recede.
Finally I close my eyes and sleep.

I wake up and lay staring at the wall.
I tell myself to get up its a brand new day.
I cry some more.
I don't want to go through another **** day.

I get out of bed and look in the mirror.
I hate everything I see.
I get in the shower to try and wash everything away.
I get out of the shower and try the mirror again.
I still hate everything I see.

I throw on my clothes.
It doesn't matter I look bad in everything.
I look in the mirror again.
I just start crying.

I go to leave the house.
"I'm forgetting something" I say.
Oh yeah, I put on my smile.

*I'm ready
