Poem
Growing up with smiling faces Tripping over untied laces Laughing with a light in our eyes When exactly did the innocence die Staring at my reflection, I watch Judgment morphs my features, in shock Mirror, mirror on the wall Will you be happy when the numbers fall Make up face, tiny waist Not enough and dreams are chased Insults whip from your venomous tongue Leaving lashes on my skin, 12 years young You said you were my friend, a knife in my back I try to compensate for the things I lack Mirror, mirror on the wall For your redemption I will crawl Through the hate society brings PERFECTION the media sirens sing Deathly thin and too much concealer Everyone tries, but nothing can heal her Darkened eyes and foggy thoughts Look at what your "standards" brought Mirror, mirror on the wall I bow to your subjective call From the land of make believe I surface with the reality that made me leave Not good enough! The voices shout Be thinner, be prettier! All this doubt Killing the teenager before the fight Nothing you can do will make this right Mirror, mirror on the wall Why is it now, I feel so small She's dead! She's dead! Society's surprised He's broken! He's bleeding! Your plan devised Break us down because we're not conforming "The world is your stage!" Well I'm done performing Toss aside my feelings no longer You must hate that I'm getting stronger Mirror, mirror on the wall No more influence, I'm standing tall Picking up the pieces and sorting them through Shatter the deceiving image that once hurt Control it no longer the truth we must blurt Breaking us down will happen no more Now all your shards fall to the floor Mirror, mirror on the wall We are the fairest of them all Believe in us and you will see Everything I know we can be
