Loving me

She keeps her laughter loud,
and light in her eyes.
but the smile on her face,
is only just a disguise.

because although she seems happy,
and theres many things to love.
deep down she always feels,
like shes never good enough.

she looks in the mirror,
ashamed of what she sees.
and no amount of tears,
will put her heart at ease.

many have tried to save her,
but the past gets in the way.
and when they try to love her,
she pushes them farther away.

inside she feels broken,
this world has done her wrong.
and the life she was given,
makes it so hard to stay strong.

im looking in the mirror,
ashamed of what i see.
but starting today,
im gonna start loving me.
