underneath all the sarcastic remarks
the girl accused of carelessness follows the path were only the darkest emotions lurk
one look inside will leave you grotequely speechless
she means well, honestly
but fear of her past, leaves somewhat bitter remains.
so she covers the scars with misplaced hostility
misunderstood is an understatemeant due to a lifes work of pain
everyday she wakes up with plain outward beauty
just enough to allow the privilege of blending in
everyday she wakes up hoping nobody will notice the living definition of empty
