Mirror Mirror


Mirror, Mirror, on my wall,

I just want to be skinny, pretty, and tall.

 

Mirror, Mirror, don’t be shy,

You watch every night as I cry.

 

Mirror, Mirror, if I starved myself,

At least I’ll be beautiful, forget my health.

 

Mirror, Mirror, on my wall,

Can’t you see I don’t like myself at all?

 

Mirror, Mirror, if I change my hair,

Would anyone even care?

 

Mirror, Mirror, maybe if I cut my wrists,

I will feel like I exist.

 

Mirror, Mirror, don’t you see?

What you show is ruining me.

 

Mirror, Mirror, don’t you worry,

My life is ending in a hurry.

 

Mirror, Mirror, you can’t lie,

I know you can’t wait ‘til the day I die.

 

Mirror, Mirror, maybe if I pretend,

I’ll be able to fit in.

 

 

Mirror, Mirror, maybe if I go against what I believe,

Maybe I wouldn’t have to leave.

 

Mirror, Mirror, why do I feel like this?

Why can’t I wait for eternal bliss?

 

Mirror, Mirror, maybe it’s because society is so crude,

They are teaching kids to be rude.

 

Mirror, Mirror, they don’t see the outcome,

Of what they do to one.

 

Mirror, Mirror, make this end,

Maybe then you’ll be my friend.

 

Mirror, Mirror, on my wall,

Be prepared to fall.
