Deceiving Mirrors

Looks in the mirror
With a grief stricken face
Can't take anymore
She's such a disgrace
Full of self hatred
For what she's become
Striving for perfection
Will this ever be done
She'll never live up
To the beauty she seeks
No matter how much make-up
Or not eating for weeks
Her eyes well up
Down stream the tears
She wipes them away
Her mascara smears
Gazing on her reflection
She continues to cry
Harder and harder
She wants so badly to die
Looks away quickly
Ashamed of the tears
She held them all back
For so many years
Turns back to the mirror
Ready to let it all go
She never imagined
She'd sink quite this low
For what she does next
You can say she's insane
But all of her anger
She can no longer contain
Eyes fixed on the mirror
Nothing else matters
She raises her fist
Her reflection she shatters
With glass all around her
She picks up a shard
She's no longer scared
It isn't too hard
She now feels more pain
Than ever before
Yet it feels so good
She only wants more
She finds the courage
With every slice
To dig it in deeper
To her it feels nice
Growing quite faint
All she can see
Are the beautiful body's
Of young girls on TV
She doesn't know she's pretty
The guys they even stare
But the mirror deceives her
And life is unfair
The carpet now stained
Blood flowing fast
She becomes to weak
To hold onto the glass
Falls to the floor
Slowly lets go
What the future may hold
She'll never know
Finds paper and pen
Though bleeding to death
Manages to write
As she takes her last breaths
I'm so sorry
But now it's too late
I love you all dearly
It's myself that I hate
I'm so sorry
I let myself fall
Please forgive me
I love you all
