Poem
If you ask me to look in a mirror To stand in front of it naked before the world What do you think I'd see? An accomplished teenager who has made it so far in life? A wonderfully intelligent young woman who has high aspirations for the future? A caring and kind youth who will be the tomorrow of today's society? A beautiful young woman who's sure to get the right man one day? Now you're asking me what I see, right? I see none of the above But I do see something. I see an unaccomplished teenager who could have done much better this far in life I see an idiotic young girl who has no idea where she's headed and is rather indecisive A caring and Kind youth who won't make it to tomorrow's society A hideous young teenager who will never get a man in her short life-span An insecure child who needs obsession to pacify herself A self-loathing teenager who is willing to sacrifice normality by self destructing her body A crazed teenager who had to create a world to escape the harshness of reality A lonely teenager wanting nothing more than attention A little child screaming out for help from the shadows of her mind A quiet individual who wants nothing more than to be heard A pained teenager whose agony goes unnoticed. A heartbroken teenager whose angst and love remain ignored A sinner before the eyes of God That is what I see in the smooth glass that is reflected back toward me I loathe what is seen within it I hate what I am I hate who I am You tell me to look again I do, and I see the same as before But I see the mirror now The intricate cracks The many barely noticeable pieces of glass missing One more crack One more hit And this mirror is gone. One more crack One more hit And I'm gone.
