Fighting beneath crashing waves
Hoping to breathe yet cave
Their shinning star: her ego's slave
The girl in the mirror

Laughing over broken glass
Condemning wrongs of the past
The victim of this sinful craft
The girl in the mirror

Vulnerable under judging eyes
Feeding of this web of lies
A fallen petal of the rose she cries
The girl in the mirror
Another personal one that really helped me, and I would say this is my only half decent poem :)

And everyone believed in her
Oblivious to her nightly tears
She could never see their girl
Blinded by her faults and fears

So she wished upon a broken star
That shattered every one of her dreams
Burdened with the screaming scars
Tonight she murdered her self-esteem

Learned not to see the light
Consumed by the vicious lies
So she surrendered to the fight
Yet again she tries and tries

Learned to laugh through her pain
For she was so sick of crying
Now she revelled in the rain
It washed away her doubts for dying

To the heavens and the skies
I’m sorry for another broken star
Its magic was just another lie
Hope, cruelly snatched from afar

To the soul that paid the heavy price
I’m sorry for this crafting mutation
But night after night, it would never suffice
You must’ve understood the satisfaction

To the victim trapped under water
I’m sorry for drowning you in its depths
In a ruthless slaughter: but I loathed her
Please forgive me before our last breath

To the readers of this pitied story
I bid you all one final warning

Don’t be deceived by their lies and our goodness
For I was never the blessed, intelligent girl
And don’t be blinded by your own loveliness
For I’m not that beautiful, sweet, caring girl

And I’m not the girl you and I wanted from me
But she is the girl I have tried to be
And I am through wearing this mask of deception

For you believe it all, but not its selfish intentions

Please help me…I pray to god for you to help me
But for the sake of your loveliness, your compassion and all that you conserve
Don’t: you are best to let me be
For I am getting all I deserve
This poem was a recent one and very, very personal. But it really did feel like a big weight was lifted when I wrote it, so it isn't one of my best works, but it really helped me. I guess that's why I like this one.

Fighting battles that are already lost
Blood and razors will make her stronger
Through raging storms she’ll struggle across
What does it matter to the girl under water?

Rising up to their every demand
Cracking under glares of another
Ego feeding off their pitied hand
Breaking the glass; that ***** in the mirror

Longing to escape the masked smile
Demons fighting for her affection
Burying herself in the pit of denial
In the end her enemy’s that dam reflection

Torturing the mind with dark temptations
Lingering thoughts soon bring her to tears
Why me? Echos in the web of questions
Shes not a girl but the one she most fears

Guilt and jealousy draining her every move
A frozen heart and a ****** fire
The scars show that shes got to prove
She’s a thief, a liar, but always a fighter

— The End —
