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
