Reflections
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
The scarring memories flash nearer
My dark eyes
The hidden lies
My brown skin
My ugly sins
My dark brown hair
The ugly stares
My long flat nose
The aching blows
My plump bottom lip
The flashbacks won't slip
Envy in my eyes
The jealousy will only rise
My broken heart
The boy who would start
To turn my frown upside down
To the smile truly worth while
But then one mistake
Was all it did take
To ruin something special
Worth dying
If I didn't love him I'd be lying
But now it's all gone
The happiness that shone
The guilt will embrace
The pain in my face
The scarring memories flash nearer
As I stare at my reflection in the mirror
