In the Mirror
I see what they don't.
A reflection, a lie.
They say,
"You're strong,"
but I crumble inside.
"You're smart,"
but my thoughts always collide.
They don't see the scars,
just the smile, forced to stay.
The laughter,
a mask worn every day.
I know
I'm not what they think.
Not tough, not wise,
just sinking, beneath their lies.
I am
what they call strong,
because I never let them see
how weak I am.
I am
what they call smart,
because I hide the chaos in my mind.
But the truth is, I'm just trying,
to make it through, to believe
I am more than just what they see.
