She looks in the at herself in the mirror
she cant believe what she sees,
she looks at herself staring back
with tears running down her face
her make up is smeared,
her eyes are all red,
she turns on the water and watches it go down the drain,
she runs her fingers through her hair
she cant believe her life has turned out this way.
She opens her backpack,
takes out the blade,
rolls up her sleeve,
breathes a sign of relief.
She watches herself bleed,
redoes her make up
and goes back to class
she goes home
and her mom is drunk
shes passed out on the couch.
And her sister isnt home yet
she goes up to her room,
cries a little
wipes her eyes
she opens up her backpack
she feels the sting
she watches herself bleed
