23. Shrinkage

I am shrinking inside myself,
I do not want people to notice,
to see right through me,
I feel as if I am pretending,
To be what, i do not know.

I don't want them to realise the
effort I put in.
It is shameful to think the way I do.

That pretty lashes and gorgeous hair
Is all that sit takes,

To be someone amazing,
Not perfect,
But loved.
