Reality

Picture perfect memories
scattered on the wall
reminders of a perfect life
that wasn't real at all

tokens of a time
when my life appeared so good
when i always did things right
did them as i should

but that facade has fallen
and the sadness now shows through
it's no longer happiness and smiles
for me to show you

depression has found it's way
into that picture perfect life
and now that happy little girl
daily picks up the knife

she cuts out all her worries
she burns out all their lies
she bleeds away the pain
growing closer to her demise

one of these days her eyes will open
she'll be able to see
the little girl was never happy
this sadness is reality....
