"I'm not crazy, my reality is just different from yours." - Cheshire Cat


Everyday you see me
And I’m carefree
Funny
Charismatic
Smiling
Caring
But you don’t see the real me.
The real me hides behind the happy facade,
Watching distantly through her own eyes
As she puts on the best show of her life.
Good show!
But when I’m alone
behind the curtain
I’m none of those things.
I’m lonely
Desperate
Aching
Lost
Broken
Everyday I wake up
And put my face on.
My life face,
The face you all see.
And my real face,
The real me,
Is crying out beneath
Desperate to be heard,
To be seen.
But I cover her up,
Bury her way down deep
under the suffocating cheerfulness of my Second Face.
