She

"Can't you see?"

Photo taken by me.

She can't sleep at night because she loves talking to the moon

She can hide behind a smile better than the Joker himself

She can fall apart but you will never see

She will panic and lose her shit but you would never know

She will fake that everything's alright and you will believe it

Why?

Because she's an actress

She has taught herself to hide

She has trained herself to keep the truth to herself

She hides everything inside herself, letting the darkness grow

She can't hold on forever

She can't take another hit

This darkness inside her is growing

It's beginning to consume her

She wants to cry out for help but she doesn't know how

She is falling apart

Can't you see?

That this she is Me
