A hatred burns with in,
Rotting away my soul.
Voices cause such restless sin,
Like ripping flesh from bone.
Never enough,I try and fall again,
As this powder dances upon my nose.
Ups and downs, ins and outs, will I ever win,
Mirrors and make up, a smile and a pose.
I know I'm fading now,
And another shall take hold.
Locked inside asking how,
But the secrets remain untold.
Others see such beauty,
And I see nothing but disgust.
My mind screaming constantly,
As my confidance begins to rust.
I feel there is no hope,
No escape from this.
Trying so hard to cope,
My sanity begins to twist.
Falling off the line,
Time and time again.
Another heart left behind,
I pray this cycle will end.
