Though I am proud of all that I am,
There is an emptiness that taints me.
Upon gazing at my reflection, all I do see,
Is a face so expressionless, so bland.
Who is this girl that claims to be me,
Am I not who I think I am?
Can I find myself before my ends,
I'm afraid I'll never know.
Though I try I cannot show them,
The pain I hide behind false smiles.
The more I pretend, the more it hurts,
They will never know me.
There are secrets I embrace,
That I cannot tell,
Even though they hurt me,
I must keep them inside.
But how can I overcome,
A darkness that cannot be shared.
If only the answers resided,
In this reflection of mine.
When will my reflection show,
The true hidden me,
This feeling of emptiness, these tears I cry,
They dry before given a chance to fall.
Happiness lies in these dreams of mine,
Fulfilling them will bring me great pleasure,
If only it could heal this emptiness,
That will always be apart of me.
Behind this mask,
A girl of great promise sleeps,
If only I could wake her,
Then will I prove to this reflection of mine,
I am the girl I know.
