      Distorted Image

      | Every thought from my mind is piercing through my weakened heart, making new 
wounds 
 Why is my useless mind creating these harsh and unrealistic ideas and illusions
 
 Are these the pathetic things everyone else sees that I have not been able to 
realize
 
 Have I been looking at a distorted image of myself in the mirror when the clear 
view was always right in front of me
 
 Only I can discover my true self, those who are constantly picking away at my 
every word obviously don't understand
 
 This image is becoming more and more broken as my heart begins to slow after 
each jagged slice punctures my veins
 
 The clear image of myself shall only be seen through my eyes after every 
unstable breath of life has disappeared
 
 This distorted image will vanish from my shallow mind and shallow heart as if it 
never existed
 
 And hopefully the clear and correct image will be left in your hearts as the 
memory of the girl with the distorted image fades away
