real me

30 1 2
                                    

look in the reflective
surface of the mirror
weep at the fact
that it doesn't show
the real me,
how I truly feel inside
unable to be seen by
the untrained eye

no one sees how uncomfortable I am
in my own skin
all the small things
making dysphoria
purely torturous

but I remain silent
others unaware of the pain
I feel inside
no one would understand...
