Reflection



You see me here and think you know me
You think you know everything that involves me.
You don't see the sadness in my heart,
you don't see what's missing,
what makes me fall apart.
You don't see the dimness in my soul
you don't know what makes me lose my self control.
You can't feel the way I feel when I'm all alone.
It feels like the world is a big black hole
that threatens to swallow me whole.
And embraces me in it's darkness, and drinks my soul dry.
Making me want to scream and cry
from the pain it causes me when I'm in too deep to hide.
