Behind These Eyes

I'm a fraud;
I'm a liar.

 

Every smile is forged.
Every laugh is deception.

 

Behind these eyes
[if you dared to look],
you would see a broken girl.

 

You would see
the sadness in my pores
just begging to pour out.

 

You would know
that the one I lie to most
is the one in the mirror.
