Broken

In the mirror, I see someone who's lost, Painting on a smile, but at what cost? Makeup can't hide the tears in my eyes, No matter how hard I try. Lost weight, gained weight, it's all the same, A constant struggle, a hurtful game. I look in the mirror, searching for affection, But all I find is my own reflection. I hate my body, every inch and part, A deep dislike that tears at my heart. I force a smile, but it's just for show, Inside, a river of sadness continues to flow. I wish I could love the way I speak, But my own voice makes me feel weak. Personality flaws, they haunt my mind, Leaving self-love so hard to find. In this lonely mirror, I search for affection, But find only a reflection of my own rejection. I long to love the person I see, But the sad truth is, that person isn't me, That person feels so distant from me.
