When I look in the mirror sometimes... I look so sad, so hurt and so angry at times... Because I feel that I am. I wished to have the comfort of my biological family, that they gave me love, happiness, trust, any praise,comfort, a real smile, to never forget about me, but instead they call me names, tease me, give me no love, no trust, no real praise, no comfort, a frown and tears, insanity, and they forget, about me, they forget who I am, how I am, they forget my feelings. I have this void that is hurt and empty, sad, full of anger at the moment. I look in the mirror at times...and I see myself trying to find a real smile, and at times I do, but not today because I look at myself and think of my negative feelings, it's getting hard to think positive with such a horrible family I was born into... I look and I finally see myself smile, the brightest smile some might see or say (if they paid attention to me) because it looks like my eyes are shining with a twinkle, but I see and feel what is truly there, a sad stretch of my lips with moisture in my eyes, trying to keep the tears, the breakdown, at bay, but no one shall see accept the soul family I chose, because I smile so brightly with shining and twinkling eyes.
