I’d lie.

she looks in the mirror
what does she see?
a girl trapped within
trying to break free

she used to be bubbly
all fun and cheer
with nothing to worry
and holds no fear

everyone asks her
whats happening
she only but smiles
a single answer, “nothing”

if only they knew
how she felt inside
even she didn't know
but there was a divide

the past of the past
she thought was gone
but threatens her future
and the present haunt

she needs to seek help
she knows very well so
but too broken within
she doesn’t go

questions she ponder
who is she?
do i even know her?
is she really…me?

i hope in love
a distraction so true
to find worth again
and be changed anew.
