Look a little deeper.

You might see a pretty girl,

With big brown eyes,

And soft brown hair,

With a happy smile

And dimples.

You might see a pretty girl,

Who wears hoodies and jeans

And t-shirts,

Who fangirls over YouTubers.

But if you looked a little further, you'd realise that

Her smile is fake,

Her eyes are lifeless and empty,

And YouTube is just a way to distract her from her life,

And beneath the clothes,

On her wrists, thighs and stomach,

Scars- new and old -lay engraved in her skin forever.

And if you were to stay long enough,

She'd tell you the story behind each scar,

But you'd just get bored and leave her.
