She chose the light,
Chose to be seen.
But lately all others seem to do is look
And all fail to see.

They have failed to
See the shadow
Behind her smile
The sorrowful cry
Behind her laughter
The empty void  
Behind her eyes

Her heart is composed of fragments
Barely holding its self together
She has given her self
Away for all to admire
For all to judge.
And now she is left with nothing
But a shadow mirror of who she used to be.

You see.
They all look
And all fail to see.
She chose the light
Yet she lives in the dark.

My blood boils throughout my veins.
The rain pours down hard from the sky,
but my tears pour harder.
They make puddles at my feet,
deep enough to drown me in sorrow.
I'm so angry at you, but at the same time
I'm too overcome with grief to even care.
How could you love me, then leave me...?
What kind of love is this?
Why won't you rescue me from this ******* hole!?
Why the **** do you do this?
I can't take the in and out apperances.
One day you love me, the next you're gone.
I just want you to love me.
Forever and always...
But we both know, that is the impossible.

As I stare at the mirror, I see

Someone that doesn't look like me

She has brown eyes, a mundane colour

And her ears are one bigger than the other

Her hair is frustratingly tangled

The shape of her face clearly not angled

Her lips and nose a bit big for her face

A little too ugly for anyone's taste

As I stare on, I see

That the malicious remarks sting like a bee

But apperances aren't always what they seem

And I don't look to bad, I deem

For once I'll ignore the comments that are snarky

And be grateful for once, be happy.

— The End —
