Mirror

I looked in the mirror,
And all I could see,
Was a lost little girl,
Staring back at me.

A girl with so much pain,
Inside her broken heart.
I watched the walls around her shatter,
As she slowly fell apart.

The broken soul inside of her,
Just crumbled before my eyes.
I saw straight through her cover up,
And heard the truth behind her lies.

As a tear rolled down her cheek she whispered,
"Promise you'll never let them see me this way...
They're believing that I'm stronger,
Than the girl you see today..."

She took a razor from the cabinet,
And carefully put it to her wrist.
Then looked at me with tears in her eyes,
Wishing neither one of us would exist.

She pulled it across her arm so gracefully,
You could tell she'd done it many times before.
As the blood began to flow into the sink she said,
"I don't know if I can take this anymore.."

She slid down the wall, and lay in the floor,
Mumbling apologies for what she had done.
Wrapped some tissue around her new open wound,
And thought "Now I can handle their fun.."

She slipped on her jacket, though it was hot outside,
Cleaned the blade, and put it back in it's place.
Her mother knocked on the door, said she needed the bathroom,
As she wiped the proof from her tear stained face..

She stared at me for a moment, and said,
"You disgust me... You should be so much better than you are...
You let them throw you around, kick you when you're down,
And the only defense you give, is a self inflicted scar..."

She then straightened her jacket, sweating from the heat,
And put on a smile to cover the pain.
Flushed the toilet, so they wouldn't get suspicious,
And walked out the door fighting tears once again..
