the mirrored side (trigger warning)
I feel as if I'm in a lot of pain, yet I feel only a little.
I feel as if I'm crying, yet no tears are coming.
I feel as if I’m alone, yet people surround me.
I feel as if I'm saddened, yet I don't know why.
I feel a great loss, within me.
Yet I have no thoughts, as to why I feel like this.
It might be the war, that is happening.
I feel as if I'm losing my life, yet I’m still here.
I feel as if I’m dying, yet I’m still in this form.
All these thoughts, are not mine.
So I will make a mask, one that can change me.
Into someone who's always happy, so no one will worry.
