I see a girl
I see the marks on her arms
The marks she tries so desperatly to hide
I see the sadness in her heart
And the pain-filled tears as they run down her cheek
I see the bruises that are no longer there
The scars that have faded with time
I see the emotions she covers up with a smile
That smile
Her mask
I see past it all
I see the girl she tries to hide
The girl with broken dreams
Bad memories
Hate
Fear
Guilt
Depression
I see her eyes pleading silently for help
I see all of this and more
The girl I see...
...Is my reflection looking back at me...
