Mirror, Mirror

by Sarah Ann   Aug 6, 2006


Mirror, mirror speak to me
Bring truth to my lost eyes
Tell me I am not ugly, fat
Help me ignore Ana's lies

"But you are sweetie, look at you
So insecure, ugly...alone
You are foolish if you've ever thought
Life is better on your own"

Ana, I have not any choice
My figure is beyond any repair
Yet I know about all that you do
To follow you I will not dare

"Each day will bring you better proof
As you cry alone in vein
So tell me young girl, tell me
What can you lose in my fun game?
I promise you I'll be your friend
I'll devour every taste
To perfection and to beauty
I will help you in great haste

The vomit will fill up to your lips
All you must do is kneel
Let it all out for indigestion
And great happiness you'll feel
As food comes on your table
Eat a small amount or none
You will be a model, be a star
You will have perfection all will love!

I will be there with you I promise
Every hard step of the way
Beauty is waiting on my side
So come on now, it'll be great!
Oh ugly girl so apprehensive
Please, let me be your friend
I'll comfort you until you think
Your insecurities reached end!"

Mirror, mirror now I see
Who holds the truth and who, the lies
It is Ana who I must believe
My damned soul in disguise

    Okay now, if you don't place in this contest then something MUST be wrong with the judges. This was so intense. I can picture every single thing going on, like I can hear all those words in my head. Or maybe I'm just a bit crazy. But whatever the case, this poem was absolutely amazing. I loved it.

    Love yaaa,
