lost

drowning

alone

numbness to the world

you could yell,

blame me for-

everything

but i'll just-

blink

and sink-

back into my blackhole

where it's dark, so I-

can't see myself

I let it consume me

I let myself die from the inside out

a cracked smile

a paper-thin laugh

a fragile heart

a heart that was dropped and broken

but I just smile and hide it all

it's all fake

I hide from the world

no one knows the real me

I lost my old self

I don't know myself anymore-

who have I become?

misunderstood

I smile to swallow hurt

I laugh to cover tears that will come

I don't cry anymore

tears show weakness

I must hide all weakness

or I-

I"ll drown in the sea of people with standards I can't

reach

so I pretend to happy

to have a happy life

fake confidence

my reality buried

my heart missing

my soul lost-

gone since-

everything

my screaming

my mouth lying-

the truth hidden

and my eyes-

if you'd just look-

you might see-

me and my brokenness

the broken girl who carries around her secrets-

like they don't break her down-to-the-earth

but they do

I carry them on my shoulders,

they cloud my mind

one day I'll-

break

but she refuses help,

I smile and keep quiet-

they don't want to hear it anyway

if you never see my hurt, then don't-

don't pretend you get it-

don't pretend you care

I look like i've got it all figured out but I-

I am broke, my smile cracking, heart breaking, soul

shattering,

my mind running-

away

running-

till I'm gone.
