Best Song Lyrichair Poems


The Mirror

I look in the mirror today
See a plastic smiling face
A thousand flaws
A hundred more lies
This has become my life

Black hair falling over 
Pale skinned shoulders
Blue eyes willing you to believe I'm perfectly fine
A scar on my arm and a tattoo
Of something I fear I will never experience

The lights are dim
As I know in my heart I need to be near him
Cause he thinks the best of me
And I'm sick of being around people that hate me
The things they say, the dirty looks they give
It's contagious
It slowly eats at the will to live

I sit in my room alone
Hundreds of miles from home
Congratulations, my peers
You're so persuasive
Every time I look in the mirror 
I see the words you say
I hear it in the silence
Every single day

Black hair falling over 
Pale skinned shoulders
Blue eyes willing you to believe I'm perfectly fine

I need familiar arms to crash into
I'm so stuck I cannot move
A ghost looking into a mirror 
Cause I'm not really all there anymore
