Mirror, Mirror


I look in the mirror and what do I see?

Someone different, someone that is not me.

I look in the mirror and what do I see?

Someone who didn't want this life, but wanted to be free.

 

I look and listen,

but listen that is all I can do,

My thoughts battle with my actions,

 

So persuasive,

So cruel.

 

I look in the mirror and what do I see?

I see a girl with a big heart but a soul crushed so many times.
