Just like the moon I carry beauty of light,
Underneath the surface some scars I hold tight.
They call me monster and make me feel so rare
With paper-white teeth and perfect bodies
Wish I didn't care.
I know their beauty is not my lack
But then why that weight is on my back?
My tears are the only thing I can't abide
Reminders of hurt that cannot be denied.
I smile through gritted teeth at the days of pain
Though in my heart i wish I could disappear
The world may laugh and watch with glee,
By all the others who watch me but can't see.
I know I'm hurt, broken and not quite whole
But now
I know I'm a survivor so surviving is my only goal.
