I fly
I fly up, out of my body
Looking down I see this girl-
Average on the outside, nothing that jumps out and yells “Look at ME!”
She walks through life at a pace steady and true
Not quite knowing who she is
I see her sadness that she keeps deep inside
Under the mask that is her life
She wears a smile that the world believes is true
But deep down inside is a wall
Too high to climb and too thick to break through
The pain and hurt from the past are building higher, thicker walls
She is afraid of life, of the hurt and the pain
She is sure no one sees her
Underneath the mask is a girl
Who loves and smiles and knows happiness
Who lets others see her deep darkness
The girl afraid of the world, of allowing others to love her
Because no one ever has
No one loves her
For her pain and hurt
For her insecurities
For her wall
For her true self
No one understands how thick the mask is
The mask of outward happiness
It is believable, to everyone including the girl
But I can see it, flying overhead
And as the day ends, I float back into my body-
For I am the girl, and I must live the life I see from above, of lies and pretend
