Her

I look and she stares back at me
I've found shes my worst enemy
she never can accept me
she points out my faults until i see

a wince on her face, as she tells me I'm ugly
she must be right because she knows the true me
she tells me i can do without this and that
she stops to point out my baby fat

i listen to her for another day
to please her i push my plate away
for her acceptance i stave
and in time i find it isn't that hard

i become weak to see her pleased
but the imperfections never stop, the hate doesn't cease
when i try to tell her i cant take it anymore
she looks back at me, her eyes burn through my core

i try to get her to back off
she tells me not to slack off
i can be better, she tells me each time
and only pretty girls win at the end of the line

then i look into her eyes of gray
i cant stand her another day
as i look in the mirror i start to see
her true identity
