Broken Reflection

Be brave now what you may see Real pain is not just image deep Only my reflection will know Keeping it bottled makes it grow Even as I look inside No one could know how much I tried Rending my sight so no one gets in the way Every time I see my smile Feels like I am stuck on trial Like the mirror sees and hides the frown Every reflection sees it upside down Can you see the smile I drew The face I carved it's all for you I can not stop pretending Only thing I fear is the hatred which is trending Now I can say the smile is real unlike the scars and how I feel
