Invisible internal destruction

They say the mirror is the one tearing you down,
But it goes so much deeper than a smile turned into a frown.
It's a horrifying voice screaming inside your head,
A voice with word choices that make you wish you were dead.
It's a life filled with long sleeves and a pretty little mask,
Hiding it all within becomes a courageous task.
Everyday you paint on a smile in order to keep your sadness hidden from the ones you love,
Every night you look to guidance from the man up above.
Then one day you noticed your own heart beats for everyone else except you,
After everything you've been through caring for others is something you cannot undo.
You spend every second trying so desperately to escape,
Knowing that if you don't find your way out soon you'll face a terrible fate.
It's hard to fight something no one can see,
After all who could ever save me from me?
