When I looked into the mirror
And saw what I could see
The one that stared right back
I swear wasn't me
Her face
Her eyes
Her everything about her
Just did not fit.. me
She didn't look anything
Like my personality
Who are you mirror girl?
What hides beyond those beautiful blue eyes?
What are you on the inside?
Or are you as shallow as you appear?
A thin piece of glass
Reflecting an image
An image of a lie
A fake
Plastic
Make-up hidden
Lie
You are me, mirror girl
A once deep
Emotional
Happy person
But now you are nothing
Nothing but what you hate
You are me
My own enemy...
I am my own enemy
I am the shallow image
What have I done?...
This cannot be me
It cannot be true
I break you mirror girl
And watch you fall
Piece by shallow thin piece
To the floor
And so now I bleed
I bleed away my life
Because I no longer deserve to live
I only deserve to die
Goodbye shallow girl
Goodbye hollow world
I already lost my soul
Now what difference is it
That I lose my shell?
-- Falling to the floor
My last glimpse of life
Is staring into a shard of mirror
Staring once more at my shallow eyes --
Author notes
I noticed today how shallow I have become.. How I've almost turned into everything I hate. And so I realize now that I must stop and regain the soul I once had. I won't fix the problem like I do in my poem of course.

That is sad, but everyone feels like that sometimes.
People always see themselves different than everyone else does, but that's because you really know who you are! -
