Mirror Misconceptions

When they see me they see a beautiful soul and eyes that can cure diseases, but no one ever stops to help me carry the heavy heart tearing my rib cage apart. No one ever thinks about the dark during the light, my personality lied and couldn't keep up with the lies. Sweat chilled like ice the women say, chilled respectful young man the men say, until the monster comes out and suddenly I am not a human being anymore. No one cared enough to see the bad beyond my smile, no one cared to hold my hand when I wasn't sure... Super smart but equally stupid, ran a mile with thorns piercing my feet thinking am strong in the aftermath I found myself in pain and agony. Should have put my shoes on while I had the chance made excuses that I couldn't find shoelaces. Now I sit with scars as reminders of my stupid decisions,mellow and tender voice with a straight face the devil smile behind, cheerful and motivational words couldn't help myself. Speaking in tongues hoping to be understood, selfies and camera's clicking the ambience couldn't see the cracks. Takes a real one to see the soul beyond the phenotype. A pile of hearts broken on a painful quest, can't look back because all that is left is torn apart. Keep it moving they say, but how when your heart is heavy from all the torment and the pain you had to endure. Balcony views sweet and fresh breeze but can't look down karma might pull you. Be alert don't let your thoughts consume you, be pure dont let the demons catch you, forgive yourself and those who hurt you, don't let the past drag you down you might never get up!!!!!
