Standing in front of a mirror seeing myself.
Yet, I don't understand how it could be.
I look to happy, I look like I am perfectly sane.
So why can't I think straight, why do I feel such pain.
Why do I look Healthy, When I am so sick.
Why did God bless me with such a gift.
Why can't I be truly happy?
Why am I so sad?
Why do people stare at me?
Is it because they know whats wrong with me?
Coming back to my reflection, why can't I see,
See the girl who is really me.
How come I'm so normal on the outside,
When I am so abnormal on the inside.
Why can't I be healthy?
Why can't I be what I appear to see.
Why do I have these problems that don't show,
But inside they seem to grow and grow.
Who is that girl I always see staring back at me.
I am not her, Who is she?

I think alot of people can relate to this, no matter what age they are. Understanding oneself and being comfortable in it is the hardest battle of all. Nice write and keep penning~
