a girl with crinkling eyes and pearly white teeth is what they would see whenever they looked at me.
i was always laughing and seemingly carefree, but that was not what my true reflection was turning out to be.
i pretended to belong as it was all i had ever known, when in reality all i desired was to be left alone.
i yearned to escape this shallow life i had come to reside, and every living soul would fail to notice how truly broken i was inside.
one day i found myself thinking 'if only i carried a set of wings', maybe then i could have finally abandoned this vicinity of deluded friends and aspiring kings.
at times i found myself afraid of my own shadow, constantly on the brink of insanity, hoping and praying that today would be the ultimate tomorrow.
utterly terrified of the path my mind begged me to follow, i embraced the one act i already knew everyone would wholeheartedly swallow.
i put on that ever so blinding smile the world had come to believe, they did not realize that this was the day i would finally take my leave.
