Something I thought up after someone called me, and I guess I was just remembering the past and I had to write this.
So tell me what you think.

Hidden Pain

I barely recognize the face in the mirror

Hazel eyes stare back,
that will never change.

But there's something new there
a glimmer of sadness
and underneath dark smudges.

I haven't been sleeping to well lately
my dreams torment me
and yet, I forget the content of them
all I remember is the feeling of terror I experience throughout the night.
Not a pleasant way to sleep at all.

My face which use to be slightly bronzed
is now only porcelain.

I think I see small creases at the corner of my lips
I guess I've been frowning too much again
at least that's what people are telling me
that's what friends are telling me.

They make false promises
they supposedly regret the things they have done
and yet they still continue to do them
they still continue to hurt me.

No one can see the depression in my eyes
no one but myself
and that will haunt me for the rest of my dreary days.
