looking in the mirror seeing that smile
she knows she can no longer run the aching mile
they say she's strong
truth is she's barely hanging on
walking in her mask
leaving behind tears from the past
she tries so hard just to let it mend
even though shes tired of having to play pretend
why wont it end?
barely standing on her own feet
knowing that she is becoming weak
to the point where she can barely speak
grasping onto every last foresaking breath
holding onto to the tragic memories to her very death
nobody can see past her evergreen eyes
all they hide are her regrets and caged in lies
a simple disguise
time keeps ticking for how long she must wait
just before she decides her very own fate
catch her before it is too late
she feels just to know its real
even though her outter layer is starting to peal
wanting to breath
to be relieved
building the walls around her heart
thats what its been like ever since the start
afaid to let in
all the things that could have been
she wants to escape
not even her soul could be fixed duct tape
overlapped by the consuming darkness
the raging fire
ignighting her desire
crumbling now
never knew shed be falling down
bursting at her seems
never thought she could truly be
ignoring the pain
bring her back to sane
scrapping by each day
the words dripping off her tounge
the lies have begun
wanting to be held
to be free
but here she is looking happy as can be...
