Hiding behind closed doors of broken dreams and promises never lasting 

Stuck behind the mirror of reflection 

Reminiscing on what ifs and what could have beens 

Why can't I leave

My head..

Spinning

My feet won't move 

My feelings compelling me farther 

I want out! 

The Lies dragging me to the deep end of life

And the pain sneaks up on me...

All at once

Pulling me down

I drown..

Drown in a pool full of my tears 

Tears wasted on something...

Someone...

Who never saw my full potential 

Who never really cared enough 

To look past my flaws 

And only saw the worst in me...

I finally gain enough courage 

And I walk to the door...

Only to find that it's locked tight.. 

And the key is on the other side....

I bang on it and I plead!

There's no escape

Darkness overcomes me..

Falling... 

More darkness. 

I scream 

but no words come out

I hit the ground 

Hard

The pain flows through my body 

Nothing I haven't felt before 

Voices call at me

Screaming at me

Telling me i'm

Not pretty 

Not smart

I can never and 

Will never do anything right..

They tell me that

I'm not loved

Not wanted

I'm just a mistake

That was never corrected

Tears streaming down my face

I close my eyes 

And run...

Running aimlessly 

I reach another door 

I open it and look inside

It's someone there 

They notice me and run out. 

I try to follow

and they're gone.
