Looks Can Be deceiving

She seemed like a person who had it all;

But on her shoulders there was a burden she had to haul.

A smile was always plastered on her face and thought to be true;

In closed doors there lied something no one knew.

She was unhappy and had formed a bad habit over the years;

Every day she caused herself pain, while on her knees creating tears.

She just couldn’t help it but she was making herself sick;

In being perfect there seemed to be limited choices to pick.

In this world she felt so alone;

Her reflection was one that was sadly unknown.

Every day she promised herself this would be the last time;

However she’d act on instinct at the drop of a dime.

She wanted to stop but her appearance seemed to be valued more than her life;

She was in a tough place, a conflict, a strife.

She didn’t know what she was doing it just seemed like a big rush;

But she was sure to get rid of the evidence in one big flush.
