#nofilter


This is me behind the scenes

A strong-willed girl

That no one can see.

 

I hide behind such troubled eyes

Faking smiles

No one sees through my lies.

 

Finding myself lost deeper in space

Wandering lost

When will I find my grace?

 

Am I dying? Am I sane?

There's no way to know

I'm the only one to blame.
