In your eyes, a pitiful shell
Naught but lifeless flesh and bone
A tale too sad to hear or tell
Best left alone
Out of your sight, out of your mind
You dismiss me all too soon
Blind to the fire burning inside
Deaf to my tune
In the mirror, a stranger’s face
Familiar pain gashed frown line
Childish beauty of Tuesday’s grace
Eyes old as time
Out of chances, miracles used
Body unable to cope
Why am I still here? So confused
Fighting for hope
In my life, no escape exists
Trapped by invisible bond
Freedoms never known are sore missed
Dreams reach beyond
Out amongst stars, shine like I could
Be that I am and would be
And I know that that is not good
But that is me

OMG
This is unreal. Seriously. I can't wait to read the rest.
"A tale too sad to hear or tell
Best left alone" and "eyes old as time" are my favourite lines. You are a very talented writer.
