Underneath the booze and pills,
Underneath the looks that could kill.
Underneath the scars and broken hearts,
Behind the locked doors where she falls apart.
Underneath the black make-up and clothes,
Underneath the black nails and soul.
Underneath this scar covered skin,
Is a bruised heart that’s broken, stitched, and sunken in.
Hiding from its fear of love,
Hiding from the world above.
Wondering if there’s someone there,
And hoping that the love her more than the clothes she wears.
Going crazy from the fights,
Begging God to make it right,
And praying she lives to see daylight.
I am that girl
Hoping she won’t fall.
I am that girl underneath it all.

&quot;Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. And its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, I&#039;m already better than them.&quot;

I can relate to this, and i love how you show yourself in poems, and you aren't afraid to share.  love your wording and the ways you describe certain things. Keep it up(:
