An Explanation

Soft-spoken yet full of wisdom,
Generous yet hateful;
Loved yet invisible,
Hard-working yet unsuccessful,
Happy yet broken;
She bulids up a false front for all the people she meets,
Can't trust the world to accept her for what she really is;
Abused and beaten she hides behind her mask,
Only giving to her pain and emotion as she lays down her head;
In love but not confident about forever,
She looks in the mirror and sees not her beauty but only her ugly past.
But Why?

Because I AM Replaceable
        and never good enough for life

Wow. Terribly sad, yet so honest. A shame when we feel have to wear a mask because we don't want people to see the real us. If only we knew the real us had great beauty. a 7
