let me tell you, a smile feels so much easier when there's someone else to please.
in the mirror a face stares back at me.
she's pretty and happy but there's more underneath.
i look deep in her eyes
and she starts to cry.
"no one ever looks past the surface.
it just makes me feel so worthless."
i touch my cheek and realize
that there are tears dripping from my eyes.
"i know how you feel, i am the same.
they tell me to keep trying but i have no flame."
