Mirrors

See what I see when I look in the mirror
The blurs of all my imperfections are getting clearer
The curve of my spine running to my hips
To the shape of my head and the softness of my lips

I trace the reflection that I see
Wondering if this is all that I will ever be
Dark brown hair and emerald green eyes
Looking at me, a part of me dies

Seeing no beauty, just a took up life
Wasted on a girl that depends on a knife
Scars on her body to show where it led
Sometimes she just sits alone and wishes she were dead

I scream at the mirror, slam my fists hard
I know with the way I am, I will never go far
Drop to my knees against the pieces
Rock back and forth as the pain increases

Bloody shards of glass stain the floor
As I lean my head up against the door
It used to be like this almost every night
Until an amazing boy walked into my life

Something happened that was very strange
The reflection in the mirror started to change
The sadness of my eyes started to fade
Then all together it went away

I started to laugh, I started to smile
He made me feel like life was worthwhile
My pain ceased and the crying was down to a few
I only dropped tears because I was wanting you

Finally it happened, my reflection changed completely
I knew the mirror I looked into wouldn't beat me
For all this time I always knew
That the man I would fall in love with would be you.
