With compliance, Leah opene...

Reflectionā¦
I stare.
Is this what people see?
Some girl; unbrokenā¦
Untouched, clean.
Without a scratch.
A reflection can change how you think.
A reflection can change how they think.
Is this what I am? Do they see this?
Hand falls back- flies into the mirror.
Shatter a reflection, make it bleed.
Hate the way Iām seenā¦
Iām not what I seem, no.
I stare at the shattered shards.

Reflection
As I stare at my own reflection in the mirror,
The image starts to become clearer.
I am no beauty; I am more of a beast.
The image of myself disgusts me,
I know people are lying when they say that they disagree.
My reflection is full of flaws,
I don't know why I think like this,
I wish I knew the cause.
I feel like I was only made to be a mistake,
I long to have the beauty of a river or lake.

Are the ones obsessed with their appearances.

Iām not here to guess.
Iām just thinking that itās awfully brave and all
To save the photos to your camera roll,
Where anyone could see them.
I donāt understand what people say,
What people see.
They say I have a unique face.
And I donāt thi...
Crickets
Dwelling on your warmth
My sorrows and pain
Will theses desires ever willow
Killing time killing time
Just praying for the rain
My darling will you take me away
Drain me and leave me once again
Suffocate me and make me beg for you to stay
Like I have before
Oh my dear will you do this for me...
Good Night
I sat there waiting for you
Forever wondering what I have done
My mind being trapped in a chamber
My tears and sorrows pouring out
Oh how I wish your soft hands touched my face
I craved your soft lips
But at last none of it came
I still waited for your call
Just like a dog waiting for its master
Oh my beautifulā¦
I wish you goodnight my sweet love...
