Tears

When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a broken girl.

When someone sees me, they see a happy girl.

The truth is when I am alone, I shed a single tear.

Once that tear falls, more follow it.

Each tear that I shed is in loneliness and sadness.

No one sees these tears.

I look at myself in the mirror, I say to myself 'Who am I really? Am I a happy girl? Or am I a broken girl?'

I continue to shed unnecessary tears to this day.
