Reflections

I stare at my reflection in the mirror The scarring memories flash nearer My dark eyes The hidden lies My brown skin My ugly sins My dark brown hair The ugly stares My long flat nose The aching blows My plump bottom lip The flashbacks won't slip Envy in my eyes The jealousy will only rise My broken heart The boy who would start To turn my frown upside down To the smile truly worth while But then one mistake Was all it did take To ruin something special Worth dying If I didn't love him I'd be lying But now it's all gone The happiness that shone The guilt will embrace The pain in my face The scarring memories flash nearer As I stare at my reflection in the mirror
