Held up by bones, Constructed of Flesh, Pulsing with blood. Defined by actions. Viewed by character. Judged by looks. Faking smiles. A locked away book. Pages wrinkled, Words blurred. A lock without a key, Until someone can see, There is a lot I rarely enjoy about being me. My soul has evaporated, Freely flowing with the wind. My heart has crumbled, No bandages to help it mend. My weakness is hidden in a frown. I always feel lonely, A single tear from the eyes of a clown. Spending more time isolated within myself, Forgotten like a picture on the top shelf. I’m a lonely tree set among a snowy mountain top, Everyday wishing for the anxiety to stop. Looking in the mirror portrays a depressing image, The person reflecting back is not who I began with. I’m imprisoned by my imperfections. Every step has led me to a new direction. I feel suffocated every day, Lost among a never ending maze.
