Girl In The Mirror

So desperate she looks 
So sad, so pathetic 
Smile painted on face 
Eyes apologetic 

She wants to be whole 
At one with the world 
But the imposter feelings 
Hold her back 

There’s two of her 
The one on the inside 
And the one on the out 
It’s the only way to cope 

Outside is jolly girl 
Happy with life 
Good for a giggle 
Whether laughed with or at 

Inside is crumbling 
Weak, meek 
Terrified of everything 
Death, people, own shadow
