Tales Of The Heart💜

Behind A Mask

Trigger Warning: Bullying, Self harm

A hurt soul in a broken body
They beat her up until she's broken and bloody
They love to bring her down
She shatters when they're not around
Depression is her only friend
And help no hand would lend
They left her battered and bruised in an alleyway
It was by luck she got to see the light of day
They are unaware of the battles in her mind
Or that she contemplates suicide
The scars on her hands tell their own stories
Everyday she prays,she craves their sorries
They kill her with their words and break her with their actions
Everyone thinks she's okay
There's a permanent smile on her face
But her heart knows true pain
She hides behind a mask every day
The uncountable tears she's shed
She's alive yes but inside she's dead
She died because they didn't care
About the fake smile she'd wear
Or about the bruises on her hands
Or why she flinched at certain demands
She died because she wasn't okay
And no one cared to know why
Because they were never on her side
