Mirror

When I look in the mirror I see A girl fragile Red and pale splotches Tears streaming down her cheeks That girl is not me This world seeks non of me The smell of old strawberries and perfume Old dogs and pollution Fresh cut grass and wet bathing suites My failures reek My depression seeps The smell of not showering I can barely get out of bed All of these screwed up memories Mess up my head More than the crap they did He did She did When I look in the mirror I see a girl Longing to let go But so stuck The attention from him Never flowed He could never care Not like he did about those drugs When I look in mirror I see reminders of him All the punches he Forced onto my skin I chuckled and laughed Not knowing it would lead down a Much darker path I was just sending it all away Until i read my letter from that day When I look in the mirror I skills Non should know Yet still at 13 and below I learned Goodbye I have better things I could do with my life
