You don’t seem to even have to try
But if only you were in my bedroom as I cry
All you want to do is fight
But little do you know I stay up at night
Looking at my lines of scar
From when you took it too far
You told me I wasn’t good enough
As if life wasn’t already rough
You thought of yourself as perfect
I was just some ***** little insect
You asked me why I was always sad
When I told you it made you mad
You loved to beat me down
As you wore your crown
My heart is torn
Like its been stabbed by a thorn
It might have been hell
But I’m still here to tell
All the things you did to me

Whenever I look in the mirror I cry
I think of the times I looked in it
And had makeup smeared across my face from crying
I think of when i would look down at the reflection of my arms and see where I had cut

Whenever I look in the mirror I wanna smash it
I think of all the memories of seeing all the bruises on my body in the reflection
From guys who used their fists to solve their problems
I also see the me when I used to not eat
And forced myself to throw up every time I was scared to gain a pound
On my anorexic body

When I look in the mirror I smile
Because I think of all i’ve overcome
My reflection is finally showing who I truly am
All I’ve worked hard at
My reflection is finally
Me
