Emptiness

I do not see the beauty of looking in a mirror
Insulting screams of inner hate is all that I can hear

The face in my reflection is unbearable to me
It's like a shattered secret that just wasn't meant to be

A smile with such beauty, brown eyes with no shame
Deceives the world with silence, for there is so much pain

An empty soul is covered within a hollow shell
The heart that beats inside of me is tired of this hell

The person staring back at me knows that I deceive
Knows that I am worthless and knows that I still grieve

The glass that reflects my broken body, shows what the blade has done
Shows the scars upon my arms as a way for me to run

I'm broken and I'm bruised and I begin to fade away
I realize I am bleeding through and must not live another day.
