"You stare in the mirror


"You stare in the mirror as you cry,

No idea why you should try,

You're to afraid to let yourself fly,

No one hears your silent screams asking why,

You force it down with a sigh,

When someone asks "are you ok" your find yourself speaking a lie,

Wondering if you'll ever catch someone's eye,

But you found hope within his simple hi,

And loneliness everytime he says goodbye."
