Love Me

I stared in the mirror and could only see a shadow of what was
I thought I could be the someone that anyone wants.
But it turned out to be the complete opposite.
I laughed and then cried when I realized I've never had anyone in my life who really cared.
I walked away from the reflection and tried to make a new one
somewhere and anywhere.
But I failed over and over again.
The pretty fun happy and wonderful girl I always pictured faded away into my imaginations.
But I never thought she was there.
I thought she was real. I thought she was me.
But everyone else tells me different.
I just thought someone could love me.
But I was wrong.
