I see her in the mirror the smile on her face
But that is not me
The real me can never be free
I manifest myself inside slowing dieing
Yet I see this reflection constantly smiling
She lies she laughs she smiles she loves
But that is not me
I hide behind her using her as a shield
She protects me from the pain
And yet at the same time she drives me insane
She covers up the scars, and cleans up the mess
She tells me everything will be okay
And tells me to be brave
But that is not me
She convinces everyone im happy and fine
When really no one sees the feelings that are mine
She feels sorry for me and yet wont let me be free
She saids it wont help that nothing will be okay
I always agree
But that is not me
Shes my reflection my outside the person people see
Im inside waiting to be free
I hide behind her to save me from pain
To not let anyone think im insane
But that is not me
She covers up the truth until it eats me away
Shes waiting, waiting for me to stray
She can see me dieing
But continues lying
She will not stop she will not leave
So i stay inside, i hide from the world
Behing curtains i appear
Waiting in fear for her to return just as soon as she left
My life is not my own it is hers
But she is not me......
