the girl in the mirror
looks tired
her eyes are emotionless
she looks weak
and she has scars
she can't hide

the girl in the mirror
tried to smile
with her very pale lips
and dead brown eyes

thinking maybe she'd be fine
maybe they won't know
maybe they won't notice
the tears from last night
maybe she can go on with life
and pretend to be alright

or maybe someone
can break the mirror
so she can stop looking at herself
so it can stop eating her soul

maybe someone can break the mirror
someone who will hold her close
and say
darling, you don't need to do this
you don't need to be alone
my arms are always open
to welcome you home.

she needs someone.
