The Girl

Hidden in the depths of my shadows the true me has yet to be revealed. All those years of secrets and lies have been to protect the me that is most fragile to life. With these walls built around me and the rivers cried inside, no one has yet to understand the real me. I'm the shadow of someone who isn't afraid of life and what is thrown in her way. A brave girl who's smile never fails and will remain as long as she's in the spotlight. Because even this charade that protects me from the evil of life has flaws. But somehow no one has managed to see past them. Somewhere hidden behind this facade lies a girl of many tears from throughout the years. A girl who's afraid of a broken heart or a simple mistake. Someone who doesn't want the world to see her as a failure so she's hidden in all the photos taken by the dreadful cameras of life and if you look close enough you will see her in the depths of the black soulless eyes hidden from plain sight.
