I'm so sick of crying, but I'm tired of trying
Maybe on the outside I am smiling, but on the inside I am dying

The life drains out of me
The splendour doesn't attract me

The edges of my mind burning away
Swallowed by a monster  I can't seem to push away

My fears and insecurities seem so strong,
That even when joyful, it feels something is wrong

My tears threaten to spill
But I chose whom I wanted to kill

The disfigured entity called my reflection
Gave my hate justification

What's broken, sometimes cannot be fixed
My actual face, sometimes does not remain eclipsed

I regret showing the real me
You were better off with the masked me

My very being consumed by being constantly despised
My state now became agonised

The silvery sheen had now been worn away
Can you now see, the kindness was just for display?

A dying whisper stands alone
Like a trooper facing the unknown

Everyone has a chapter they haven't ever read out loud
The words are always wrapped in a pitch black shroud

Hearing that The glass has shattered
I knew I lost everything that had mattered

The rain is like the tears I shed
Unseen, I have bled

The broken lucky charm
On my command It brings me harm

Left by beautiful broken shards
Marks like thin blades of grass

The carver had a silver glint
The thick liquid shone with an evil glint

The damage was not to go in vain
Without the pain there was no gain
