False Reflections

I am who I am
Why can't you see
This shell is a sham
Look inside for ME

View my cheerful smile
While I cry inside
Showing the world my style
When I only wish to hide

Look through the glass
Not in the mirror
See the painful mass
That creates the tear

What seems true is a lie
What seems good is not
When did the innocence die
So long ago that I forgot

False reflections abound
Seeing what you want to
Sense of security is found
In an image so untrue
