rhiannonm franklin - reflection

i look in the mirror and
see a girl who had
many dreams
a person who
doesnt belong,
where she's at
the problem's at home
are unbarable
i feel i dont belong
my lips here where im at is hopeless and bare
there is no laughter
at least not from me
i walk,
when i feel the urge to run
i talk but feel the need
to scream
i laugh but truly
i'm crying
my outer image
is of a girl
who is loved and adored
but that doesnt matter
its about a girl who deep down inside
is depressed; scared, and without the people
she loves more than anything'in the world
she knows they're there but not reachable by her hands alone
