Trapped In the Fog

Can somebody please explain to me? Why is it that she hates what she sees? A seemingly perfect life She is forced to hide behind a smile Scared to face the truth With a glance in the mirror, she doesn’t recognize her own reflection A young girl’s view so distorted she feels so lost Terrified to disappoint, she forces herself to smile The girl trapped inside, so desperate to break free And with every passing moment, the beauty inside begins to fade It fades further and further away She has lost herself So desperate to belong, yet she is unable to move on Unaware of the damage she has caused, she lives in a dream She is trapped in the fog She continues to live her seemingly perfect life Never showing the fear Never showing the pain Never showing the tears, she hides from herself Her reality is one where the truth can no longer be found Why is it that no one can see the beauty of the girl trapped inside? Why it is that no one can see that this girl is me??
