Girl In The Mirror

In the reflection, she stares right back,
Her eyes see blank and impassive.
Imperfections everywhere she looks,
'I should be skinny but I feel massive'

I want to stop myself from eating,
Just throw up after every meal.
I can't because I don't have the courage,
But I can't stand the way I feel,

I've been told that I am perfect,
Now he's gone and I'm not so sure.
Did he lie to my face to make me feel good?
Am I sick and that was his cure?

I keep looking in every mirror,
I must seem so conceited.
But truthfully, I have no self-esteem.
My soul's been completely depleted.

No one knows of my silent pain,
The torture I secretly embrace.
It's too late for anyone to help,
I'm trapped in my self hating ways.
