THE UNSPOKEN WORDS OF A BROKEN PERSON, Pt 1

cerry

I used to be so confident 

or rather I used to mask my confidence so well it fooled everybody

Now..

Now I’m left with self doubt

I am left in my feeling 24/7

The girl who was once so brave and on top is suddenly so timid and hidden

It used to be so easy to hide my flaws

I would go out with a bright smile and nobody knew the havoc that was running through me.

I had a routine you see,

I’d shine bright and showcase my smile all day and then cry myself to sleep, easy right?

But then,

My smile faded and my tears ran out.

I was left blank and insecure…

I started binging on lies of what I thought people saw when they looked at me

I chased after the wrong things cause in a weird way they made me feel seen…
