The mirror glares back at me
It whispers lies in my ears
It screams at me, it threatens me
It shows me what the world around me see’s
It scares me to believe my own reflection
I look so ugly, so fat, and my complexion is so pale
To smash my fist into its cold hearted surface
Would bring me so much pleasure
Yet as I walk the street’s I realize
My reflection follows me
Car window’s wink at me tauntingly
School showcase’s laugh at my watering eyes
How can anybody love such a face?
How can anybody think I’m sexy?
Because in this world of skinny models
In this world of shallowness
Nobody cares how smart you are
Its big boobs or nothing
I am nothing
Although I see my reflection still in the mirror
I am only a shell left on the surface
The mirror has broken me
Before I could break it
It’s ruined myself image
It’s made me want to forget
How ugly people are never happy
Yet it lies to me I know
I’ve heard so many people comment me on my looks
Yet when I look into that same damn mirror
It doesn’t say that, it says exactly what it has made me think
I need to change myself, or I will never be real, be noticed, and be liked
That mirror has ruined my life
