I am...
the girl you never see
hiding in a black hood
in the back of the room
holding bleeding, tear-stained wrists
I am...
the junkie you don't really know
sitting in a cloud of smoke
all alone in the rain
listening to my own slowing heartbeat
I am...
the skinny girl hiding out
in the bathroom at lunchtime
getting rid of that last meal again
till there's nothing left
I am...
the face in the mirror
with cloudy black-lined eyes
invisible to the world
lost to even myself
I am...
the regrets you don't want to see
the lies you can't deny
the hate you won't let go
the hurt you kept inside
the time you let pass by
the reason that you cry
I am...
the flaws you tried to hide

This poem is amazing.
I love it because I felt I could relate to it.
It speaks a dark truth about society nowadays.
How we are afraid to show who we are.
Thank you.

Very dark and beautiful....
"I am...
the flaws you tried to hide"
Rings with a bitter truth. Don't we all try to pitifully hide it? Sad life. >sighs< Anyway, a great poem. Peace!
