Standing On an Open Shore


Standing on an open shore
Having to open that door
Insecurities flood me as I walk the halls
All those stares like I am the entertainment
I feel weak, I feel small
Walking through the halls
Pretending I am fine
A fake smile painted on
Hiding inside, trying not to cry
Sitting with friends that aren't mine
Wishing to be more
Wishing I was prettier
Wishing I was skinnier
But how can anyone know?
When secrets are hidden

 behind my mask

God forbid they see

what's behind that mask
