DON'T LOOK BENEATH THE SURFACE
You love all my smiles when we go on our little outings,
But when I get home, I drown in my own tears.
You chuckle when I sing my favourite songs at the top of my lungs,
But I cry myself to sleep, understanding the meaning behind the lyrics.
You marvel at the easiness I have with certain things,
But actually, it's just because I make no room for mistakes.
You like when I tell you about the stories and characters of my books,
But they're one of the few things that keep me sane these days.
You might think I have everything figured out, that I don't have any doubts,
But I don't even know where my place in this world is.
And when I look in the mirror, I see a girl brimming with joyfulness,
But as I stare at my reflection, I also catch a glimpse of the remains of those devastating battles...
