Reflection

I look in the
mirror,
What do I see?
A broken boy gazes
out at me,
I'm not perfect,
I will never be,
That person people
want me to be,
I'm unique,
I write poetry, I
draw, I like to
speak,
I see myself inside,
The boy I always
hide,
I need a friend,
I want the pain to
end,
Reflections lie,
The boy inside dies,
Love me,
I need peace,
Help me,
I need a friend,
