LOOK AT ME

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Don’t judge me by my appearance
I’m not all that I seem
I stand strong-
Holding back the tears…
Hiding the pain…
I smile-
To hide my problems…
To make you think that everything’s ok…
I laugh-
To prevent the tears from showing…
To make me feel alive…
On the inside, I try to hide in the shelter of a dark corner
Screaming to let out all my fears…
Screaming to anyone who will listen…
I escape the pain by wearing a mask
A mask that disguises deformities…
A mask that makes the outside beautiful…
When on the inside… I’m dying…
