Looking In the Mirror

when she looks in the mirror
she sees a stable woman
with ok looks
a pretty smile
and a beautiful sense of humor

but when she looks inside
she sees a mass destruction
a beast awaiting to get out
and she dosent know how long she can keep it in
she sees a little girl longing the love,
of someone close to her
someone that shed die a million times for them to accept her

she sees a demon waiting the right moment to arise
she sees a careless being that cares for no one but themself
when she looks in the mirror,
i see me
