The Girl In The Mirror

I look in the mirror and see my worst fear.
The pain
The suffering
It’s no longer surreal
I put my needs last
I help others first
When I look in the mirror I’m consumed by rage
I see a sad girl
In a dark lonely world
She’s vulnerable
She’s weak
She’s me
I look in the mirror and want to change
I see fat
And disgust
And a babyface
I see stretchmarks
And scars
And pure shame
Will anyone ever know my name?
Somedays I think I’ll be on the news
As the girl who died because she was given a rotten pair of shoes to walk in
She hated her life
So she ended it one fateful night
She looked in the mirror and slid the knife.
