Sillouette

The reflection is blurred and hard to see I am shown a vague silhouette As I struggle to look upon the reflection of me Unable to determine the person I have become I finally think I know Until the following day I see there is more than just one I see many people living inside of my shell Nobody truly knows me Nobody can tell I fell down many times but always got back on my feet Throughout the years I’ve fought Refusing to admit defeat My once silk skin turned to a hardened leather which protects me from the rain Protects me from the tears that fall So that I do not feel insane One by one I knocked them down if they stood in my way Like dominoes they all fell over Until they realized I was not their game to play All the cheaters and all the liars one by one exposed their face In the end I was all alone Left sitting in an abandoned place Flashing lights blared and sirens screamed Suddenly feeling trapped I woke to find it had all been dreamed Nothing had been real in a world of fakes Everyone pretends and everyone judges While we all make mistakes
