In the mirror’s cruel gaze, I find my flaws,
Each imperfection, a tale of lost cause.
The shadows whisper secrets of disdain,
A silent scream, a heart in constant pain.

Beneath the surface, where the darkness lies,
My soul trembles, hidden from prying eyes.
The weight of regret, a burden so vast,
In this desolate land, shadows are cast.

I wear a mask, a facade of bright light,
Yet within, battles rage through the night.
Each smile, a ruse, a desperate plea,
To hide the truth, the anguish within me.

In the quiet hours, when the world sleeps,
I drown in the depths where sorrow seeps.
Hating myself, a relentless tide,
In this endless struggle, I cannot hide.
