life, a paradox
your perfect life is a paradox
you breathe to live another day
bruises hide behind clothing
cuts hide behind long sleeves and bracelets
your smiles and silver linings are facades
the vanguard of hope you hold is demolishing itself
those suicidal thoughts that constantly consume
are shown in your self-abusive actions
ribs are seen and eyes are sunken
your self-destructive ways are your downfall
smiling your best, you can't fool the world forever
you breathe to live another day
bruises hide behind clothing
cuts hide behind long sleeves and bracelets
your smiles and silver linings are facades
the vanguard of hope you hold is demolishing itself
those suicidal thoughts that constantly consume
are shown in your self-abusive actions
ribs are seen and eyes are sunken
your self-destructive ways are your downfall
smiling your best, you can't fool the world forever

Beautiful language my friend. I feel a connection between this place and one I had in the past. However, the description makes it less depressing because we all tend to fall in this path in life some way.we are not alone in our emotions.
