Broken Inside

Perfection lingers over her head, 

as her flaws stand out in 

that night. 

She prays to God, 

to understand, 

the things that make her 

imperfect. 

She sits and prays, 

with no 

answers to the questions 

that she asks. 

The mirror reflects 

the flaws 

she knows everyone sees. 

Her quiet nature, 

keeping in 

the things that she feels, 

holding back the tears, 

as she struggles to 

hold on to 

what little strength she has. 

Walls that have been 

built, 

strong tonight 

than ever before. 

Her emotionless state

a product of 

what she has been through. 

One can't be strong

without hiding pieces 

of themselves. 

Now she sees. 

Now she knows. 

The mirror displays 

what he 

implied, 

She is broken inside.
