The mirror
Looking in the mirror who do you see
I see a girl who’s heart is damaged
A girl with the heart of broken promises and dreams
A girl who constantly lives a lie
A girl with a smile that seems it’s stapled on just barely
Falling slowly
Her eyes are bloodshot from her tears
But she can’t let them see
No
Never
This girl turns her head away from the world but puts on a mask so she can live in solitare
This girl bleeds every day
More each time
But there aren’t any visible scars
For the blood is from her damaged heart
The people she’s surrounded by are what the average person would call “friends” but she doesn’t have friends she has enemies in disguise
All have a gun in hand
And her slightest movement will make them pull the trigger
Stab her in the heart
Poison her
Burn her
Freeze her
Drown her
Kill her
...
But none of that happens because in the mirror
you all see a perfectly normal girl
