"I'm in a world surrounded by people, but I constantly feel alone." - unknown.


I looked up and my eyes met hers,
Seeming oddly familiar I searched myself to know who it was.
It scared me the pain I saw in her eyes,
Her smile acted as her disguise.
All I recognized were her dark, almost black eyes.
I fell to the ground and just cried.
I couldn’t believe what I had just realized.
The girl staring back was me, her pain was mine.
A girl who always acts like she’s just fine.
As I thought out loud I said wow she’s not though,
Look at her… or look at me, she’s hit an all-time low.
Or should I just admit that I’ve hit an all-time low.
Either way…whoa.
Again tears fell from my eyes,
Rewinding back to all my lies,
All the times I told myself I’m okay, I’m fine.
I’m not, and now it isn’t something I’m willing to deny,
I admit I’m not fine.

This was a dissapointing stage in my life. And basically it describes a girl looking in the mirror and not even recognizing herself and admitting for once in her life that she's not as strong as she comes off as and that she's not okay.
