My shadow doesn't show me
It hides my humanity
The shadow doesn't show my fake smile
Or that I haven't laughed in a while
It doesn't show my heart breaks and frowns
The shadow doesn't show how many people let me down
The shadow doesn't show my scared arm
It doesn't show my body in harm
The shadow doesn't show my many tears
It won't notice if you look in my eyes you can see my fears
The shadow doesn't see my wore out body
It doesn't show my life is rocky
The shadow doesn't notice how I'm constantly depressed
It doesn't notice it if I'm the worst or best
The shadow doesn't judge me on my looks or face
My shadow is kind of my fantasy place
It's a person with no feelings or emotions
It has never cried a million oceans
You can't see it's clothes or the runny make up
You can't notice if life was good today or tough
You can't tell if it's smiling or simply crying
Or if it's trying to keep it's head up but inside dying
You can't tell if it has unhealthy eating habits or marking their wrist
The shadow is right in front of you but you don't notice this
Its not only the shadow its also myself
I could be right in front of your face SCREAMING for help
I'm right there you can even feel my breath on your face
That's why I think if I get help it will be a waste
You could see this so easily if you looked only a little deeper
It's like when I climb the same mountain as you its always steeper
Why does my life have to be rougher and comes along with cries
And how it is always let downs and hardly no highs
If you looked a little harder you could see
See me as the real heart broken me
