Shatter Reflection

by Once an Angel   Feb 11, 2006


I look in the mirror each passing day
And she looks back at me in the same way
With pale skin and blood-shot eyes
A cover of make-up, her only disguise

She has her artical grin in place
Keeping her frown from her face
The purple scars run down her arm
Sickly evidence of her self harm

Her body and mind are bruised
From all the days of self abuse
She feels much too fat to ever eat
Yet her body is already far too weak

Her clothing hanging off her frame
Giving more evidence of her shame
Wearing the same jeans from the day before
Because she just doesn't care anymore

Grabbing a hoody from off her shelf
Using it as a cover for her ugly self
Bending in so no one will look hard
And see that she is heavily scarred

These clothes hiding her acts of pain
Concealing each and every broken vein
Making sure that no one can actually see
This shattered reflection that is me

    Wow, That was deep. Extremely good though. I honestly loved it! I can almost relate to it in some what way. I'm just lost for words. There's not one thing I would change. It's perfect the way it is! Keep it up =] 5/5
