I’ve told too many lies to recall,

I’ve stood in the corners and watched people fall,

I regret most of what I’ve done,

I’ve forgotten what it’s like to be fun.

I’ve grown far too simple and far too tired,

I am no longer the daughter that you once admired,

I plan to apologize every day,

I always end up lacking the right words to say,

So I sit in front of a mirror and stare,

At a girl who no longer seems to be there,

Covered in bruises from head to toe,

A world of hate is all I know,

I don’t recognize the dark and hollow eyes,

They were once blue like magnificent skies,

Uncomfortable in the skin that’s grown so cold,

Once so young and once so bold,

I’m a different person and I wish this wasn’t true,

But I hate myself and it’s because of you.
