Beauty queen

She's a beauty queen

But she still looks in the mirror

And sees the girl she doesn’t want to be

She sees the fake smile for what it really is

The words sit behind her lips

But she just can’t say them

She fears the reaction of the people around her

What will they think of the real me?

Will they still want to be my friend afterwards?

But she doesn’t know

She never will

Because she can’t say the words that sit behind her lips

Waiting to be said

But she’ll keep hiding behind her walls

Because no one needs to see her falling

Not even her

So she takes the mirrors from the walls

And throws them to the floor

So she doesn’t have to see herself anymore

But life goes on right

And maybe, just maybe

One day..

She’ll like the person she’s grown to be..
