Plastered smile

By Kitty_LostInHerOwnMind

I don't know myself today
I can't figure myself out tomorrow
Yesterday is just a blur
Tell me who am I, who am I?

Don't believe the plastered smile that I wear
Don't be decieved by my fake shell
I would let you in
If I knew how to ge tin myself
Please tell me
Who's the stranger I see when I look in the mirror

I seem to be trapt in a box
I can't get out, but there are no locks
Did I put me here or was I tricked by someone I don't know?
Those two people are the same in the end

Don't believe the plastered smile that I wear
Don't be decieved by my fake shell
I would let you in
If I knew how to ge tin myself
Please tell me
Who's the stranger I see when I look in the mirror

I scream and yell trying to figure out what I mean to say
I wish my own words weren't forign to me
Who's that stranger I see when I look in the mirror?
Could that stranger be me that I see in the mirror
I wish I knew me
