I broke my mirror one time because I didn't know who was staring back at me.
She never looked right no matter how hard I tried or how much paint I poured.
I stepped on a piece of glass from the mirror after thrashing my room.
I sat down and picked up the shattered mirror
I still didn't recognize her but she blinked each time I blinked
She looked tired and weary
She looked worn and torn
She looked beat up
I tried to touch her skin but she cowered in fear
She was scared of me and I wondered why
Then I remembered all the times I hit her.
Slap after slap. Punch after punch
Your tummy isn't flat enough
Your waist is too wide
Your thighs are too big
Your eyes are also big
Your lips gosh
You look horrible today
That is why they don't notice you
Clear your cry lines
Smile!!
Be soft you're too harsh
Keep quiet they don't care
That girl in the mirror
She survived and overcame
Her biggest oppressor was me
And I was her
I was her biggest hater yet she stayed
Because she's all I'll ever have in this life and the next
The very reflection of who I really am
I can't truly run from it no matter how much I hide
