I look in the mirror
And what do I see
A girl standing there
That is not me
She puts on a smile
And brushes her hair
Staring at her reflection
Deciding what to wear
Facing the world
As if things were okay
But secretly wishing
She did not feel alone today
She stays in her room
And turns the radio on high
She does this so
No one can hear her cry
She walks in the rain
So no one can see her tears
She does not tell anyone
That she herself is her greatest fear.
She does not want the world to see her
Because they just wouldn’t understand
But when she feels alone and scared
She needs someone to take her hand
Instead, she hides her wrists
adding a little twist
tearing the fragile skin
the same skin she’s been standing in.
