Broken


i look in the mirror and cry myself to sleep

i point out the blemishes the whole world sees

i ponder on friendships, relationships, and more

i try to smile at a positive thought, but it strays away leaving me sad and helpless again

my mind tries to understand why i am, the way i am

i hang my dreams on an empty hook inside an unseen door

Closed again 

i hate it that way, but thats the way it must stay

i paint on my smile and start a new day

No one knows me and thats just my way.
