A Dark World

[X x K e l Z x X]

Sitting in a smokefilled room
Wishing my life away
Dropping peanuts in an empty glass
Burning the edges of a napkin
I lie awake at night
Wishing I was somewhere else
Wishing I was with someone else
Besides my lonely self
When I look in the mirror I see
Someone other than the real me
I see a ghost of a girl
Who succumbed to a dark world

Sitting at a messy table
Killing myself with each breathe I take
Drowning myself in a glass
Making faces at myself in the reflection
I see my face
Some guy once said it was beautiful
Now he's gone, and I'm all alone
I look up at the bottom of my glass
I take more than a glance
I stare at my blonde hair and blue eyes
Keep working towards my demise
I see the ghost of a girl
Who succumbed to a dark world

Changed blonde to black and blue to brown and this describes me perfectly... Though, I haven't met a guy who's called me beautiful yet
Well, anyway, terrific write.
