Mirror Mirror

Looking in the mirror, appalled by what she sees a scared lil girl, who longs to be free born into the world in nineteen seventy-seven a full fledged woman by age eleven robbed of innocence at seven, she dreamed of angels and heaven Sat at the pulpit of sin, hoping god would let her in she never wanted to do those things, dirty in the dead of the night She could not resist him,she couldnt say no voice still with fright prying all the while please god dont spite while he tells her she was made for this, his delight and soon she would forget fore in the morning light, it will be alright so to false hope and lies she held tight Cuz how could she deny his love, although sorrid calling him daddy, demeaning and horrid so she held it all in, even after the trial fore his sin, was indeed her sin, her denial and the cancer that ate away at her soul was the memory of his evil smile Mirror, mirror on the wall did you happen to see the girl fall crimson current on a white marble floor lipstick quatations "I cant take it no more" "I am free now dont you fear" and on the cold blue face lay on tear
