The Girl Behind the Mirror

Behind the mirror is a girl I don't recognize.

She looks like me,

but there's just something off about her eyes.

She smiles in all the photos,

that's when she looks the most like me,

but that beautiful smile goes away when all the doors close.

When the moon is out,

and she takes off her mask,

she's the type of girl that no one wants to be around.

She hates herself,

and all the goofy things she does,

but in the moment, she wouldn't trade the smiles and laughs for anything else.

Because she loves herself during the daytime,

when she believes that other people love her too,

but she gets lonely in her bedroom, crying late into the night.

Sometimes she wishes she could disappear,

be someone else-

She wants to be anyone besides the girl behind the mirror.
