back in MI.
fighting with myself
standing here with an angry look on my face.
looking at a girl with a smile on her face.
she always looks happy as i always feel sad n lonely.
i ask her why she's always happy.
at first she ignores me and then later whispers in my ear "things aren't always wat they seem". as suddenly i knew wat she was talking about. this girl isnt always happy and her smile is jux used to pretend tat she is. i ask her another question, 'why do u always pretend to be happy, if ur not?' her answer was ' why dun u look in the mirror wen u ask these stupid question?'
'excuse me,' i say in response to the rude comment.
'you heard me', the girl says.
but as i step back n dun get defensive, i find a broken mirror lying to the side of me. i begin to put the pieces together and place the mirror back onto the wall.
i now have a shocked look on my face.
the girl looks exactly like me.
now as i think abt it, she talks exactly like me.
y dint i realise it b4?
maybe,bcux i dun realise myself anymore.
tat girl was me.
i smile even if i'm sad
tears form wen no one is ard.
pretending tat life is more than it is.
now, as i talk to myself, the girl in the mirror staring back at me starts fighting with me.
i'm fighting with myself.
i've been fighting myself all this time.
i've been fighting myself all these years.
i became an emotional wreck bcux i couldn't understand y life is like this.
i soon had to understand life on my own.
i had to stand my fround and pick up the pieces like a broken mirror.
i'm not going to break myself again.
put myself through hell if it's not worth the agony.
i cant pretend anymore.
wat's real is real.
even pretending doesnt cover the real truth, sooner or later u'll fight urself for reasons u wun understand.
or for reasons u understand but cant stop.
i jux want to be free.
free from fighting myself.
all these years of stabbings in the back, were caused by me.
wen i put the blame on others.
it's always someone else's fault if my life is screwed up.
now, after so many years of blame, it's my fault.
no more torturing myself n others.
my life is wat i make it.
i cant follow others, onli wat i set out for myself.
if dere is a problem den i have to fight myself to succeed.
