be happy

lookin in the mirror

they ask her what she sees

she tells them of the loneliness

she speaks of the pain

she paints them the darkness

she shows them the scars

but they don't believe her

they call her a liar 

and they break her

and all they have to say for it is 

be happy

these words hold such pain and frustration, a powerful piece that shows how invisible both mental health and feelings are and the misconception that it is all a choice
