Hell can be Brutal

Location

Behind the curtain everybody sees,

a light so bright that cannot be reached,

An eternity full of shame,

Lies, resentment, and carelessness,

All so young yet so dark,

It used to be great,

now its just work,

Growing up was a huge impact,

No one knows how much  it hurts,

to be an outsider,

in a world envious for fame, 

Jealousy is my worst trait,

Maybe one day I'll be damned for all my lies,

Right now I am just floating by,

It may be forever before I become whole,

Yet a teenager is only judged so poorly,

Daring to find my inner self,

When i look I see a proportion of Hell.
