Hiding

by Jessica Roberts   May 2, 2006


I must convey to all young girls
too never allow the world in
because once it has a hold on you
you will never be the same again
skinny perfect models
on all the magazines
expensive brands that we cant afford
constantly reminding us that we can never have that
i know its easy to say, dont envy others
but when you always feel liike dirt
in the presence of someone with money and fame
you think to yourself how do you compare
with someone who has no flaws
perfect everything, hair, nails, body, face
like maybe somehow youve done wrong
maybe somehow your not worthy
of happiness
mirrors are the center of my depression
they show me everything i wish to hide
and in lies the truth to my demise
you see this life ive come to have
hidden beneath lies, fake smiles, and tears
is a person no-one can know
shes hidden herself among these things
afraid of being hurt
afraid of not fitting in
so instead of showing her true self
shes lying to the world
but they could never understand
they just hide the reality with the thought
that she chooses to be sad
that she had all this coming
like it was her fault she was depressed
